Speaking of template convention... is there such a thing? I kind of noticed mob entries are supposed to stay somewhat clean but some also have semi elaborate guides on the "front page" while such guides are kept in the discussion section in other entries. Personally I try to put hard and useful info on the front page while keeping speculation/partial information to the discussion but sometimes even partial info can be relevant. Are there good practice rules for this?

In short, no. Certain pages (eg. the mob pages) do have a wiki-template, and that helps keep things somewhat organized. However, the wiki is a community effort, and there's no "you must watch this video or read this manual to edit" requirement ... so any "standards" beyond the templates just come from each contributor trying to match what's already there.
However, I think you got the core idea right. The mob (or any other normal) pages should have ... unambiguous, non-subjective information. For instance, this mob spawns at X spot, roughly Y% of the time.
Anything subjective generally belongs in a guide page (or a discussion page, although really those are supposed to be a place for wiki editors to communicate with each other). If you have some thoughts on the best way to kill gnolls, you should create a "Guide to killing gnolls", rather than put that sort of advice on the Gnoll page.
