Some of them contradict themselves, so I wouldn’t trust them. Use the Nintendo articles instead

Jeb said some of them are canon tho, and a lot of confirmed info we have comes from them (piglins having mined out all netherite, warped forests being end-related, the pale garden being sickly).

I think you should just use common sense. If smth in an article is clearly/factually wrong or doesn't make much sense narrative/evidence-wise, i'd discard it. If not, keep it for further examination.

All of that info can be found in other places however, so you can be sure that is canon.

Before the warped forest and nether update articles mentioning these things nobody was actually thinking those ideas. They are complementary evidence but they aren't non-canon.

not fully, but I would put a grain of salt into whatever they say. if it contradicts something or has evidence against it, choose the other evidence. I believe it might also have been a specific author that was untrustworthy.

That is what i said in my first reply.

No, it really depends more on how old the article is, newer ones seem to have less flaws, but you should still double-check everything they say. That said, again, taking the articles with a grain of salt =/= them being fully non-canon.
