First replies, from first reading – based on experience with this wiki or in general, or on personal preference (though I may have done edits differently): I guess, an example could look like this:
 * What you call "dotted lists", technically are named "bullet point lists". They should be used in infoboxes whereever something is listed. Even if an area has only one inhabitant, it should be listed (consistency; easier to apply changes with a bot). However, there's an issue with this in the code fields: if they all shall use the format, as currently only the area IB does, bullet point lists don't work and will produce an asterisk for the first entry – that's why I use simple line breaks in these fields. You can see this if you're commenting out the BG icon on the Iron Throne Headquarters. Currently, I don't know how this could be done differently. Any non-list format that lists something – e.g. quests, if we should decide to do so – should be done with semicolons, rather than commas. This is due to certain extensions, that might be installed and used on the wiki in the future to gather data from pages, needing semicolons as "separators" to work properly, and won't do so with commas.
 * One exception comes to mind: I don't think that it's a good idea to list on every weapon the damage with a bullet point – even though I do so for weapons with multiple kinds of damage.
 * In the specific case of the Temple of Umberlee, I'd keep the "high priestess" – similar as it's done for the "owners" of some establishments or "barkeepers" perhaps –, but remove "priestess", as Tenya's only one of several.
 * Not as in Beregost. Rather take the FAI or Candlekeep as examples. (I stopped my latest walkthrough in Beregost, thus also stopped editing the areas.)
 * No periods in infoboxes (also no units or symbols).
 * Cool Place … please, do not create wanted pages if they aren't wanted. ;) No file types for the codes in infoboxes. (It was done like this in the past, but times have changed.) What do you mean with that superscript thing?
 * Format … yeah, mentioned above.
 * Fancy? Thanks! :) Yeah, done this way also on creatures when listing "special", or listing locations of items throughout games, etc. (see e.g. Template:Found in).
 * Standard screenshot size: move through the Candlekeep buildings, to see my latest approach to the topic. A screenshot should be at least 300×185px; if larger is necessary (in most cases) and it would fit the topic, try multiples of this golden ratio – for some buildings this is, however, not useful. This also applies to other screenshots – of creatures, for quests …
 * The templates "Location", now split into "Location1" and "2", were only created by me and not present at the time, most of the wiki was build, especially all those BG1 areas. The game presents coordinates as "x = 000, y = 000". If you open an area file's "actor" entry with Near Infinity, it shows the two numbers separated by comma. And in scripts, a period is used. So … using the templates makes it easy to change the script, if all coordinates are given with it. I'm, however, against over-coordinating, e.g. every creature in the infobox of an area …
 * Rat people … that's because the infobox explicitely uses "enemies" for non-NPCs. We should change that categorization and naming … (I also doubt the usefulness of that extra companions field.)
 * Annotations behind entries – I'm never sure how to format this best … we can use and italics and both, but which when and for what purpose?
 * Icons – no, you didn't do it exactly right, Unclesporky. ;) That one would be a good example for fanciness. As I'm mainly editing item articles currently, and that's also the infobox I've worked the most on, I've formed some habits:
 * placing the icon, the entry, then a bold pipe as a separator, followed by the other entry, and the other icon at the end – does only work for two different entries
 * putting it in front inside lists (should always be done like this)
 * putting it at the end in cases such as for the list of non-suitable classes in all games, that then have added one class in a certain game
 * sorry – no examples in mind
 * My talk … then I cite from that:
 * Type: Building
 * Primary functions: Inn
 * Other: Store
 * Services: Identification
 * Drinks: well, drinks …
 * Rooms: … and rooms

Layout … hm … I've used "Floors" to give the number of them. Depending on the article, it could perhaps also be used to link to the floor articles/sections. Same for "Basement". "Other"? Don't know – just the option to tell something else, perhaps. This may also be the case for "Notable" and "Special".

Worship … I'd keep it, for now. Suits "Authority" somehow.
