There are many places on Wikipedia that explain exactly why.
The short answer is, because it costs time and effort, and a little bit of money, to maintain all those articles, and they cause more problems than they are worth.
- Gormo 2y agoWhat does it mean to "maintain" an article as something distinct from posting and updating it?
- rightbyte 2y agoIt would be quite bloated if Wikipedia had 1000 Runescape articles about different minutia I guess. But I'd like if Wikipedia had 'subwikis' with that kind of stuff.
- stevage 2y agoAmongst other things, looking out for vandalism and misinformation. Also managing categories, infoboxes etc as they get updated. There's quite a lot. Just look at the history of any article.
