Misuse: No it doesn't. This does neither tell you which character makes it (major/minor/extra), nor what kind of smile it is (happy/sad/sarcastic/whatever), nor if it even touches the resolution of the main premise or is just there for artistic flavor. Also there's no reason why this entry should be in the combinations-folder?

Some tropes just have {{Spoiler}}s built into them. It's either because they specifically deal with spoilers in fiction or because they give away the endings or very important twist (like which important characters live and die just in one instant) of their works, so even naming these tropes along with a work is a spoiler in itself. This means that ALL examples on the respective trope pages are a spoiler by default, without exceptions.
