The editor base is presumably primarily composed of younger users, even to the extent of there possibly being a lot more who are underaged here (but we can't necessarily block them for such if we have no proof). It's not that there isn't good enough documentation, more that most contributors don't know, and possibly don't care or even understand.

The style guide isn't the best followed as again very few bother to read it. We deal with a lot of disputes of how a page would be edited as they outright don't follow it and aren't even aware of it. We've mentioned it plenty and have it linked in enough places, but still it seems that there's a lot more interest in argument. Which again, is typical of what we're working with...

We've guidelines against these, but it's not too easy to moderate when we already have a lot to deal with in terms of user conduct. I feel like I'm throwing another vandal to block at the Discord admins channel every hour. We also don't really want to outright cancel out the works of these editors (who might not understand these editing guidelines in the first place), and as long as it's mostly correct, it's probably fine to leave alone for something that's a bit more imperative for a bit. Which is probably why some pages have gotten as bad as they are. Wouldn't be surprised if the Spam page is an absolute mess at this point...

As with any wiki, if you see a problem with pages, you're free to fix them yourself in line with our style guide.
