Indeed, that's a different matter altogether.  It's reasonable to
argue that Wikipedia articles should contain spoiler warnings for the
benefit of readers (though the English Wikipedia community has reached
consensus to the contrary).  This is very different from the idea of
providing special editorial control to representatives of articles'
subjects.
