Usually I see some sort of warning like "NOTE: This contains unmarked spoilers for (work). Tread lightly."

When troping fanfics, how should we treat spoilers for things that happened in canon? Do we treat them as, well, spoilers? Or do we assume that whoever is reading the page is familiar with whatever media the fanfic is for and thus only hide spoilers for the fanfic itself?
