I see you've reinstated this "spoiler warning":
 | (Do not read this article if you believe in the Easter Bunny and would be disappointed if you were told he/she is not real.) |
Several points:
- Spoiler warnings are intended for narrative works (i.e. fiction), so the simple act of including a spoiler warning indicates that the article refers to fiction.
- You actually say in this "spoiler warning" that the Easter Bunny is not real, which would be counter-productive even if spoilers were appropriate for articles about folklore.
- Your similarly worded spoiler warning for Santa Claus was also removed for similar reasons.
I understand where you're coming from; if possible, we should phrase articles like this so that adults understand we're talking about folklore, without going out of our way to ruin things for children. But this should be done through the use of careful phrasing, not spoiler warnings. I've removed this again; it simply doesn't belong in this article. If you still think the article should include a spoiler warning, please seek consensus on Talk:Easter Bunny. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 16:36, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
