Did you try clicking the BG "references" icon? It's a link to see a listing of any other pages connected to that page. This will include materials used for it, any recipes it is used for, but also any quest or mobs that drop it, etc. so it's usefulness may vary based on item.
All of what you want to be on a page can be there. If it's not, you are welcome to add it. That is how a wiki works. ^^ Everything on FFXIclopedia was also compiled the same way.. Everything you see is from user input. I don't know how to make templates, so most of my additions have been only additional info, but it's not hard at all to add missing info that you know.
My SOP for recipes is to do a search for "leathercraft" > Ctrl+F > enter item name. The skill reqs and recipes are all listed in skill-level order on the main craft page, so I find it pretty convenient personally. Individual pages have to be updated manually while the base item info can be datamined, which is why you can run into stuff like the item pic/description only page you saw.
