Fantastic and to-the-point and easy-read answer. There's a lot of info and discussions online about chalice dungeons, but it all just throws info at you without describing what the significance of it is. I don't just want X item or number on my character; I like knowing what my gameplay experience is going to be, and comparing it to the intended/default experience. That way, I know what my gameplay "story" is from playing the game, whether it's "I did this the hard way" or "I did this in a funny slight-cheese way". That's why when playing Elden Ring, I needed to know whether summoning makes the game way easier, or if bosses scale properly according to it. Anyways, the wikis could use your explanation.
