The most important thing to understand about the wiki and faction is that while you can use which faction a mob gives, or the +/-, the specific numbers are way off ... to the point of being all but worthless.
They're based on some unclassic source that P99 maybe used in year one or something (but Nilbog has long since made the numbers classic). Unfortunately, because there are whole lot of those numbers in the wiki, removing them is difficult.
Second, every mob only has one faction. It might give multiple negative factions when you kill it, but it only has one that it uses to determine if it likes you.
However, mobs don't just look at that faction to decide whether or not they like you. They also can have modifiers for race (which is why illusion spells can help NPCs like you better) and religion.
