I'm glad you enjoy the work that our editors have put into the wiki. My high edit count is the result of both working on my own edits, as well as reviewing the edits of other editors (I'll admit I'm a bit of a perfectionist...). It does add up to quite a lot after 6 years of work. Though, I have had less time to work on the wiki lately, both because of uni life, and because I now dedicate my wiki time to not just editing the wiki, but also translating SAO-related news and SAO side stories to English from Japanese.

Now, before I answer your questions, I'd like to inform you that our wiki has a Discord server, where our editor and non-editor community gathers to chat about SAO and other matters, including wiki content. If you plan to work on the wiki, you may find it quite useful to frequent the chat, as our editors are more than glad to help with editing-related questions. If you're interested, you can join our server via the following link: https://discord.gg/PRUcDpM. Please note that you'll receive a message from our bot when you join the server to help verify that you're a human (since we've had issues with spambots invading our server).

Anyway, audio file formatting isn't really my field, so all I can tell you is that all our audio files should be in ogg format, as that's the only format that Wikia allows uploading. Audio files are uploaded just like images via https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Upload. The audio file is then added to articles just like an image would be. I can't really help with encoding and bitrate questions, since I have no experience on the matter. I can tell you that we don't really have a guideline/standard for that. Perhaps other editors could be more helpful on this matter, however.

As for creating OP/ED pages, we haven't prepared a template for it, as it's not a type of page that we make often. When we do need to create a page like that, we usually just copy another OP/ED page and replace the variables. I would recommend discussing this on Discord, since it would be easier to go through it step by step and answer specific questions you have. Though, if you're thinking of making such pages, it would be best to have a reliable source for the lyrics. As a wiki, we don't really like relying on random third party sites for our content, as we cannot guarantee the validity of it. For example, season 2 OP/ED lyrics on the wiki are based on official booklets that came with the CD release of the songs.

If you have any further questions, feel free to hit me up.
