What if: Each episode gets its own section with link, timeline/publication info, and synopsis? 'Cause my concept was very definitely that I wanted these pages to answer questions like "which story was the one where X happened?" ^_^;

Also, I don't think most spin-offs have an overall story, per se. At least, mine don't. They have a few character arcs, but they're not aiming at a definite end the same way a TV show is. I can think of a few sentences about recurring themes for each, but I'm not sure how I'd describe the "story" of either. Doesn't help that they're both ongoing, too.

For a not-me example, I don't think TOS works that way, either.

Re. spoilers, I feel like that can be taken for granted, so the pages don't need hats; maybe a single line of text in the lede as a reminder, if anything. Plus, there are other sources for plain links, such as agent pages (which also may contain spoilers by default) and the Complete List of PPC Fiction.

(Also, why go against internal consistency with "spin-off"? It's listed as the primary spelling in any dictionary I look at...?)
