I never thought I'd found myself saying this, but largely, I agree with you. When you go to look something up in an encyclopedia, some degree of spoilers should be expected.
Nah. Several times I would have liked to have read about future episodes of a show I've watched, or a movie that I'm considering going to see, but I refrain, because the use of spoiler templates is totally unpredictable. You either get them used far too vaguely (like the entire plot section is flagged as possibly containing spoilers), or not at all. Is it so much to ask that only the actual *spoiler* part be flagged, and that the "hide" template is used?
By "actual spoiler part", I definitely don't mean any information that could be found in a blurb or marketing material about the movie. The general outline of the plot is fine. The hidden fact that Johnson is actually Wilson and that they are both undead zombies is a spoiler. In some hypothetical movie, that is.
