Right, and I think users of WP are aware that if the continue reading
an article on a film or book, they will find the plot, and that the
last part of the description of the plot will tell the ending. A
section heading ==Plot summary== is as effective as a spoiler warning.

[[Wikipedia:Spoiler warning]] (after much hacking by others) which
strikes me as sane and workable.
I note that I've been removing inappropriate spoilers as fast as I can
and almost all have stayed that way. Whereas those reverting me have
tended to be blocked for 3RR a lot, i.e. are hotheads. This suggests
to me that the actual wiki opinion is not so very much in favour of
spoilers everywhere. I wonder if we'll start getting email from
aggrieved readers, i.e. the people spoilers are supposed to be for.
