=== When to use it ===
This template should be used to black-out spoilers on pages that are otherwise spoiler-less.  For example, the Wiki's [[Main Page]] should always remain spoilerless, however spoilers may be displayed via the Featured Article module is the featured article is a Spoiler-ful article..  In such case, it would be appropriate to use the blacked-out text to hide those spoilers.
