Following the instructions at

However, towards the bottom of the page it says:
  "Once you have successfully booted your new system for the first time, you
will want to install Grub onto the other two disks (or on the other disk if
you have only 2 HDDs)" and proceeds to show how to do this.

This is very confusing (to me, anyway). Is this really what one is supposed to
do, even though it says that SYSLINUX will be used in the tutorial? Perhaps
it's something to do with the difference between grub and grub2, but in any
case to someone just following the instructions it isn't at all clear why this
section talks about grub instead of syslinux.

If you do think the WIKI shall be corrected, just do it following instructions here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Help:Editing

Do not hesitate, even if you feel being not smart or confident enough. I found myself editing my first WIKI today, as I thought some modifications could be made to one WIKI.

From a post of tomk user:
"The wiki is definitely NOT an "official documentation project" - it is created and maintained by the user community, and at any given time, it will contain many errors and omissions. These are corrected over time, as part of the ongoing review and maintenance process."

So my advise is : go ahead if you feel you are right.
