However, on my system locale -a results in errors and the file /etc/local.gen does not exist. Also, the file /etc/local.conf does not exist either. Obviously there is some disconnect here about the assumptions the person who wrote the wiki article is making. What is it?

According to your question, you are looking for /etc/local.conf, however, the configuration is within /etc/locale.conf with a final "e". If it not exist you and you have writing permission on /etc/, then you can just:
echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf and that would do it, of course this is an example just with language, you can do what ever locale configuration you'd like.
