I just usually assume the wiki is unreliable

When it comes to the percentages (like the zone experience modifiers), this is the best assumption.
It's important to remember that P99 started out long ago with a standard EQ Emulator codebase. When Rhavin (the original P99 wiki god/hero) started the wiki, they used a lot of data from the stock EQ Emu.
But of course, P99 is "classic", and the stock EQ Emu stuff is based on ... well I'm not sure exactly, but well after the classic period. So, as the P99 devs have fixed more and more things to be classic (or, in the case of ZEMs, just changed them to be different/mysterious), the wiki data has gotten more and more incorrect.
Still, a lot of the EQ Emu numbers are actually still correct for P99, because a lot of the game
is still the same on live. Similarly, the P99 staff generally didn't change a terrible ZEM zone into a great one or vice versa. Permafrost's ZEM has definitely changed over the years, but the polar bear pits have always been a good place to XP ... it's just that
how good has changed.
It's for this reason that the wiki still keeps this "bad" data: removing it en masse would make the wiki even more inaccurate. Instead, the best we can do is fix each page, one-by-one, with P99-accurate data.
