As I recall making a comment earlier on the wikipeida
talkpage, none of the defensive editors could answer ethier. "I'm sorry, but
most people like them". I don't paticularly concern myself too much in the
practice of the matter on an emotional level, but I am very inclined to question the
relevance. As of my most recent e-mail, I asked how the template assisted the
encyclopedia or its goals or if there were any edvidence of its informative capacity. The
questions still haven't been answered. -Zero
The template assists the encyclopaedia and its goals as follows:
* It builds trust in our readership - trust that we value them and
their enjoyment of reading us
* It would allow us to collect information on which movies/books/tv
shows are deemed "spoilable"
It is informative as follows:
* It describes the specific presence and nature of a spoiler within a
given article
* It permits a separation of the plot, separating that which spoils
from that which doesn't.
* It allows readers who do not wish to be "spoilt" to read the whole
rest of the article without fear.
