I don't think you've seen the Unresolved Convention Issues thread here, as a decision regarding this has already been reached. Bojangles states:

Ok, gonna say that the final/official decision is that "coined" terms will not be hyphenated (wallbreaker > wall-breaker)
This means that wall-breaking and stall-breaking is incorrect, and wallbreaking and stallbreaking is correct. There was also an official agreement that when you abbreviate moves such as Baton Pass and Rapid Spin to Pass and Spin, respectively, they are uncapitalized.
  • Scizor can pass Swords Dance.
  • Forretress can spin away entry hazards.
Those would be correct.

Since the thread doesn't really say anything about spinblocking, I brought it up on IRC and everyone seemed to agree that spinblocking should be used, and not Spinblocking or Spin-blocking or anything along the lines of that.

I agree with you regarding base stats, however, and fixed these on-site.
