On most archive sites you cannot list the pairings like you can on LJ. For many, only the popular pairings can be listed as a couple. Here is an example I gave above in a comment.
On LJ: ginny/scorpius, harry/draco, harry/scorpius (mentioned but not in detail)
On Archive X: ginny, harry/draco, scorpius.
You end up having to list out in your summary or notes who the pairings are and whether the relationships are detailed or not. These are not searchable by the archive. *sigh* However, if I list *het* as warning/contains then people know that harry/draco is not the only sexual relationship happening. And if I'm on a Slash only Archive, and my story happens to have het in it, I post that it does.
I read slash, het, femslash, and write both slash and het. If I can't tell by the characters listed what's in the story, I'll look for the warning/contains. I'd prefer "Contains". It's not a warning but an advertisement for me.
I can see why Warning for m/m or m/f or f/f sex is wanky but I also think that in fanfic; Slash, Femslash, Het, are more genres than warnings.
As to those other warnings...I warn/advertise for all.
