Meaning #8 refers to the entry for 指を詰める, and its meaning "to jam (one's finger in a door, etc.)"; however, that is not the meaning listed on the page for 指を詰める. There it says "to catch one's finger (in a door, etc.)".  To "jam" one's finger is something different in English (at least as I've heard it).

We've started hiding 無 forms (and also 御- forms) in all expressions when they're not exceptionally common. The assumption is that users will recognize and understand that ない is 無い (and that お- and ご- are 御-).
Try an advanced search for entries containing 無 that are tagged sK.

why hide "余命いくばくも無い" when it's as common as "余命幾許もない" (in fact, it has 1 more hit)?

I think よくしゃべる is more "talks a lot" rather than "talks well" (it has two senses.)

See below.

Sorry Jim, I did not wish to cause any confusion by my comment on "獲れる", i.e., your reply, "I am afraid you've lost me with "Empty vessels", etc. You'll need to raise those topics under the relevent entries."
I was just trying to somewhat acknowledge that my versions of English may be some what parochial, so to speak, and explain the point by referring to some key words "Empty vessels" from the above. And, then I endorsed that point by referring to "よくしゃべる者はかえって実行しない", which I stated may mean - if I have got it right - that a person who talks well, on the contrary will not perform [carry something out]. And then I stated that it was not quite the same as the cat's meow that alerts the mouse to danger and therefore allows the escape; nor is it quite the empty vessel. Then I concluded with the admission of my parochialism by stating that it is obviously quite difficult to get matches that suit everyone's thinking and in a dictionary it is the majority view that counts.
Sorry to have plagued you with this, but after your comment I thought that I had better complete the circle by returning to the relevant entry as suggested.

Koj - also has 婚/こん as a noun, but then quotes 結婚 and 婚礼 as examples.

I can't see this as a regular formation of 出来 + 婚. The refs I quoted all consider it as an abbreviation. It doesn't match a recognized meaning of 出来 (as opposed to 出来る.)

It's certainly rare, but I don't think there's a case for removal.

Original source for 金銀は湧きも? 1686
https://kotobank.jp/word/金銀は湧きもの-2030476
※浮世草子・好色一代女（1686）五「金銀(キンギン)は涌(ワキ)物と、色好むうちに五十余歳になりぬ」

As part of my kanji studies, I'm currently stumbling through random passages in jmdict, with an eye towards keeping idioms that seem interesting and recognizable.  As such, I do some basic google searches to see if there is any actual use in the wild.

Every single google search result for the quoted entry "宝は湧き物" is a dictionary entry.  The pair of youtube entries are dictionary entries.  The images are dictionary entries. 2 of 4 search results were posted by random_kotowaza-bot, a 3rd was a straight en-jp definition.

It seems like there is a historical source, as this appears in j-j entries with デジタル大辞泉 is listed as a reference. If this were vocabulary, I'd suggest [rare] or [obs]. Since the editorial policy wiki indicates that this dictionary is not a repository for arbitrary idioms and proverbs, instead allowing items that are "short, pithy passages which are recognized as useful" I suggest deleting it.

The danger of this entry existing is that "fortune comes to those who seek it" is super-catchy in English, while the proverb itself seems essentially unknown.  I tried it on two Japanese students today, they had to google it.

Just to complicate slightly, there are two variants of this idiom, using 金 and 金銀 in place of 宝。 Neither of those appears in this dictionary. 金は湧き物 seems to at least exist in the wild, but is still rare.  The kicker is that the reported meanings of the other two are at odds with this one (see references for Japanese definitions). 
宝は湧き物:　If you seek out money, you'll find it.
金銀は湧き物: If you don't work too hard, money will find its way to you naturally.
金は湧き物: If you don't think about it, even if you have no money, money will come to you.  

Seems like I tracked down the source for the 金銀 variant in any case...
浮世草子 ukiyo-zōshi; Edo-period genre of literature depicting everyday life of the merchant class​

Add form 習うより慣れろ (〜ろ, not 〜よ) – grammatically modern 
command form, much more common in practice (a friend used it 
in the 〜ろ form).
(Could have a separate entry; don’t know policy on this.)
Also add other glosses; “experience is the best teacher” 
seems the closest English form (implying experience better 
than study).
