To the encyclopedia? Utterly nothing, of course; the encyclopedia, being an inanimate collection of bits on some spinning metal plates in Florida, is in no position to have an opinion on the matter.
I suspect, though, that it matters to our *readers* (you know, those people we're supposed to be writing this thing for). It costs us nothing to add a template to an article about a movie noting that the surprise ending is revealed; and while most readers may not care, there are some that, desiring to avoid reading such materials, will thank us for our foresight in providing such a warning.
