Reverting someone else's edits alone isn't an edit war and this sounds like an issue for the discussion page rather than ATT, anyway.

I just posted to the discussion page, but if they didn't answer a PM, they're not gonna respond to that.

Well, here's my two cents...

I would add the entries back, but hide the spoilers. Yes, even though it's an old and popular show, and you may personally believe that anyone who's interested in it has already seen it... but that's not necessarily true. So yes, even though It Was His Sled, you still hide spoilers.

As Septimus said, correcting vandalism (well, at least "bad edits") isn't edit warring.

However, if the other person comes back and deletes the entries again, then come here, because re-adding them at that point would be edit warring.

We don't hide spoilers for a prior work on a sequel's page. It has nothing to do with It Was His Sled.

Oh, I didn't realize it was on the sequel's page. Okay then. Yeah, don't worry about spoilers then, since theoretically anyone watching the sequel probably saw the original first.

I went ahead and restored the cut examples.
