Do you know *how* many times I've seen the
argument about spoiler warnings
that since the user can already figure out that a plot section contains a
spoiler, it must not be labelled? And do you know how many times I've pointed
out the ease of use and consistency argument, and nobody bothers to pay
attention? Let's just say, lots of times.
Yes, that's what Matthew just pointed out. You seem to have missed the
point he was making, which is that this is tedious and doesn't make
anyone care any more than they do.
I note on Harry Potter-related articles, the {{current fiction}} tag
is achieving some currency. This is analogous with the {{current}} tag
for real-world events. Nicely consistent and gets rid of the argument
that sections containing plot elements should be redundantly marked
{{spoiler}} because the work is a recent release.
