Although this issue has been done to death (though
I tend to think
the debate has mostly been a matter of people from outside the
relevant fandoms saying "Erm, these are totally unencyclopedic" and
then the fandoms shouting a lot and getting their way), I'd like to
note that the focus on spoiler warnings and on not revealing spoilers
in an article is, in a fundamental sense, totally contrary to the
process of writing an encyclopedia.
Someone once tried to add the spoiler template to [[Night (book)]] --
which is about the Holocaust. :-|
At that rate we should soon be expecting a spoiler notice on [[World War
II]]. :-)
