Do I just use The Protagonist, or do I include their name, locked behind a spoiler tag?
If the name isn't known initially, and unless the work uses another noun to addresss them, it's fine to address them by their role and any of its synonims.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupNow looking at it, "The main character" is fine. I was assuming there was a problem how to address them but the page was addressing them already.

I see. I was under the impression that the plot synopsis was fine to do that way, since I took the page structure from Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill, which also copies the plot synopsis.
Fixed both.
Edited by techno156If the cooking page copies from somewhere is can be reported as well (spearately).

For works where the main character doesn't have a name, how do we address them?
I'm writing up a work where the main character goes without a name at first, but only remembers theirs later through a spoiler. The name itself is technically not a spoiler, but might be confusing, since the character is not addressed by name for large portion of the early part of the work.
