As I recall making a comment earlier on the wikipeida talkpage, none of the defensive editors could answer ethier. "I'm sorry, but most people like them". I don't paticularly concern myself too much in the practice of the matter on an emotional level, but I am very inclined to question the relevance. As of my most recent e-mail, I asked how the template assisted the encyclopedia or its goals or if there were any edvidence of its informative capacity. The questions still haven't been answered. -Zero
The template assists the encyclopaedia and its goals as follows: * It builds trust in our readership - trust that we value them and their enjoyment of reading us * It would allow us to collect information on which movies/books/tv shows are deemed "spoilable"
It is informative as follows: * It describes the specific presence and nature of a spoiler within a given article * It permits a separation of the plot, separating that which spoils from that which doesn't. * It allows readers who do not wish to be "spoilt" to read the whole rest of the article without fear.
