Before I say this, I just want to put forward that I think developing citation standards is a good idea and if you want to undertake it I encourage you.

Now that that's established, I just wanted to point out that a lack of linkable citations isn't why there are lore arguments. Putting citations in will definitely make it easier to refer to valid sources on points that are indisputable, but a great deal of lore is speculation and interpretation. Heck, our guides have entire sections dedicated to acknowledging those different speculations. Anyway, there will always be branches of lore that can be argued over because they aren't all cleanly defined even if there is evidence to back them up.
