I've seen it on [[Samuel Pepys]] before, because there was material in there that might spoil "anything based on this dudes work" (I quote directly)
I mean, sheesh. Even *if* there are people out there who read diarists as though they were novels, and then go to read about the diarist in an encyclopedia, would they really expect to avoid reading about a ten-year period in the author's life just to avoid anything interfering with the book?
I think I've got the most ridiculous usage of the spoiler templates (before I removed them, that is): the [[Get A Mac]] article. You know, the "Hello, I'm a Mac" "And I'm a PC"-commercials? We can't go around willy nilly spoiling those, can we?
