I think you should include だ~でござる, for form's sake if nothing else (especially since でございます is used with some regularity even if the casual isn't.)

You're right; to be honest, this page needs to be redone from top-to-bottom, as there is quite a long of sonkeigo info that needs to be presented.

I don't get why there's the conjugation box. Isn't that box just explaining how to turn verbs into their passive forms?

the passive form is very often used as the honorific form: honorifics are either the special forms (in the top box), passive forms, or お+(verb stem)+になる (for example お急ぎになる for いそく)
