Since the spoiler warning templates were removed but the material they were labeling was left in, the analogy breaks down a bit. Deleting the trivia section template doesn't mean deleting trivia sections themselves.
Since obviously my point wasn't clear enough, let me explain: deleting templates shows how easy it is to use automated peocedures to make a big, Wikipedia-wide change that cannot be reversed by people restoring each one manually, regardless of the actual merit of the change.
