The required effort to do so nowehere near the same level as simply going back and referencing your own edits, which are still relatively a few, or simply referencing your edits at the very same moment you make them.

Additionally, all of that information wasn't written at a time when it was strictly encouraged to reference information. There's a difference between certain piece of text in the wiki violating the rules because it was written before said rules were enforced and a piece of text violating rules purposefully.

Please, you need to take into account that the information in this wiki is being written for people who don't know it. References help not only validate ourselves as a source of information, but also provide the reader with a source so they can check the information themselves if they want to.
