Are there any specific examples that you can point to on those pages?

Edits don't require mod consent and not necessarily accurate.

If the shipping information is not official it should not be on Characters/ pages.

Sure, it's under the entries of Alhaitham and Kaveh what drew my attention since I'd been taking notes on their entries a couple days ago. The reasoning for adding the Ship Tease trope felt out of place considering the entries themselves already elaborate on their connection from an objective point of view.

Regardless, if I come across other examples, do I have permission to edit according to my judgment? I'm to understand from reading other questions that it's possible to explain the reason for the edit, in which case I'd certainly write it.

Yes, you can edit those pages to remove that information without needing to ask for permission in the first place. Just make sure to put in an Edit Reason to explain why you removed the entry, as deletions usually require one to explain its removal.

Ship Tease: While his relationship with Kaveh/Alhaitham appears vitriolic on the surface, their complex history and current dynamic, thematic association with each other, as well as their secret care for each other and rather domestic home life, can all be boiled down to this.

Boiled down to what? This doesn't tell what was deliberataly added by the author.

Feel free to remove these. You can remove inaccurate entires if your edit reason is understandable and the entry isn't contested. If someone objects or the entry comes back, you'll need to have a public discussion instead.

Thank you so much for your help! I will try doing it myself so to learn how to edit entries. Apologies for the trouble, and again, thank you for guiding me.
