I've already pointed out on the RFC page that
it's often good to have a
consistent user interface. It's best if all spoilers are marked as spoilers
rather than some being marked as spoilers and some being unmarked because
it's obvious. Even if it is obvious.
Consistency is only one dimension on which to judge - Wikipedia does
not value consistency consistently over other values elsewhere, and I
don't see that therefore this is an overly compelling argument here.
True consistency would have every article on Wikipedia having a
spoiler warning, just in case, and a half-dozen others as well.
