[WikiEN-l] spoiler warnings

[Violet/Riga]

My problem with them is when the spoiler message comes at the start of the
plot synopsis.  Sorry but there should always be a spoiler-less opening
paragraph explaining the plot as described in the film blurb (or whatever).
Otherwise they lose their purpose.
