Lost in Space
The general rule is that an article for an installment in a serial work should not spoil anything that comes afterwards in that continuity. The article for A New Hope should not spoil anything in The Empire Strikes Back. The article for Avatar: The Last Airbender "The Cave of Two Lovers" should not spoil Avatar: The Last Airbender "Return to Omashu", and so on.
This doesn't mean that they should be spoiler-tagged. It means they should not be included at all.
On Recap pages specifically, spoilers are always off for anything that happens in that episode or prior. You should not read a Recap until you've watched/read/played that installment. Moments pages are spoilers-off, but should not contain future spoilers as noted above.

All right, thank you!
I enjoy "reading along" while watching something (As in, watch an episode, read the corresponding Recap, watch the next episode, etc), so it's good to know that I at least should be able to do that without spoilers.
Is there a specific policy on how to hide or not hide spoilers of later entries in the same series? I know there's a policy on no spoiler tags for Moments pages, but does that include subsequent entries (e.g. "Made less Heartwarming in Sequel because...")? For example, Recap pages for Star Trek: The Original Series often mention plot points from the movies (or sometimes even later series like Discovery), which were released and are set later, and e.g. the subpages - like Heartwarming and YMMV - for the 5th movie spoil what I'd assume are important plot points from the 7th movie.
