Undoing the deletion of spoiler warnings in a way which actually looks at
each one individually to see where it should be placed is much harder than
deleting them. For one thing, you can find all links to the spoiler
warning
template to delete them, with nothing comparable when adding them. For
another, you don't need to read the article to delete them, but you do
need
to read the article to add them.
So basically you're saying you would prefer it if you could blanket revert
blanket removals? I don't see two wrongs making a right; if you ask me,
individual editors should have made decisions on a case-by-case basis,
regardless of whether they are adding or removing a tag.
