Your example is wrong. There is not id nor origin for MSG_ALL/MSG_BROADCAST. You should add an example for all.

oo yes, you are right, i have forgotten that

EDIT: Done

+ origins have to be floats.

It's still wrong.

engfunc( EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY );
engfunc( EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_ALL, SVC_TEMPENTITY );

engfunc( EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_ONE_UNRELIABLE, SVC_TEMPENTITY, _, id );
engfunc( EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_ONE, SVC_TEMPENTITY, _, id );

engfunc( EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_PVS, SVC_TEMPENTITY, origin, 0 );
engfunc( EngFunc_MessageBegin, MSG_PAS, SVC_TEMPENTITY, origin, 0 );

You should also comment more each MSG_*.

EngFunc_Message_Beginuses floats, message_begin() doesnt.
if you explain such a function you should add an example when to use EngFunc_Message_Beginand when to use message_begin() because imo is EngFunc_Message_Beginkinda unnecesarry :X
also, you should explain MSG_INIT, PVS and PAS (with a short example ofc). at least because i never was able to find that out xD i mean MSG_ONE and MSG_ALL (+ the unreliable ones of them) are quite common but i guess there are a lot who never used MSG_INIT, MSG_PVS and MSG_PAS.
another thing is the origin, are there a few messages where you need it? i mean most messages need write_coord() to set the origin ^^

EngFunc_MessageBegin is not unnecessary if you work with float and you use MSG_PVS/MSG_PAS. But it's true except that, message_begin() should be used.

Btw :

MSG_PVS = Potentially Visible Set = The message will be sent only to player who potentially view the provided origin.
MSG_PAS = Potentially Audible Set = The message will be sent only to player who potentially hear the sound from the provided origin.

It's useful to reduce data sent to a client.

MSG_PVS_R and MSG_PAS_R are not used. I think there is a thread about that.

This is the most unorganized information tutorial I've ever seen.

[Arkshine]

That's why it's better to use directly the wiki. :p

By the way, can you find for me a good page name so I can create it on the wiki, Exolent ? :p
