Very long? It's a line and a half. It seems to me a reasonable expectation that people read a four line explanation thoroughly before dismissing it, or at least read it twice.

As to your two ifs, this is not the first one. That already exists as InternalReveal.

The second one is what I'm talking about, and I'll acknowledge that it's subjective, although not as much so as you indicate, and won't be applied as often as you seem to believe. I am aware that advertising frequently really does show things that are meant to be hidden, but there are also many cases in the wiki of people complaining about prerequisites to their even consuming the media being spoilered. We probably wouldn't read Anne Frank's diary in school if she didn't later die in the camps. Or {{Twilight}} if Edward wasn't a vampire, something that at this moment there is an entry on TAS complaining about.

TAS is already a natter magnet, full of "but wait, we were meant to know that"'s, including at the aforementioned {{Twilight}} entry. This just codifies that response and backing to not natter and go ahead and delete the offending entry.
