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.)

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)
