I see that the RFC is basically being 'owned' by one IP address (proxy?) from Amsterdam. 87.189.124.195's objections notwithstanding, is WP:SPOIL going to get killed finally?
That's the IP that's just been blocked for edit-waring to keep {{spoiler}} on [[Sleeping Beauty]]
Huh. We need to go through that thing, write a tentative policy based on it and see if there's any remaining places a {{spoiler}} template is actually appropriate.
Places it isn't:
* Anywhere under a Plot, Summary, Synopsis, Story or similar header ** Anywhere the spoiler content *should* be under such a header * Articles about fictional characters - no-one would look them up without knowing the stories * Any article where almost the entire article would have to go under a spoiler * Fairy tales, Shakespeare, classical mythology or similar cultural canon, under the proviso of "don't be stupid"
What's left?
