Instead of accusations from the pro-spoiler side it would be interesting to hear from the anti-spoiler side. David or Guy would either of you object to this sort of compromise?
I would consider spoiler warnings in plot summaries ridiculous. In addition, determining what's a spoiler is basically original research.
In addition, {{spoiler}} is dead as a dead thing. We have {{currentfiction}}, which does a slightly better job of the same thing.
I suspect someone going through to put 45,000 fresh spoiler warnings, in whatever form, on articles is not going to fly.
That is: there's not a credible position to "compromise" with, despite much repetition.
