[WikiEN-l] So what was the outcome of the spoilerwar?

[Steve Bennett]

Can anyone give me a 1-sentence description of the net outcome of the
recent spoiler war? I notice that wp:spoiler now refers to the need
for a "compelling reason" for the inclusion of a spoiler, which is a
much better, more nuanced position than many real and strawman
arguments I heard from both sides (ie, "no spoilers ever" and
"spoilers everywhere"). But I'm not sure what the actual policy was
before, so could someone enlighten me?
