Because it's neat and some of the guides are have headcanons in them instead of actual, in-game lore. It's not a matter of legal shit at all - wikia's are protected against things like that. All of the content herein belongs to its respectful authors. It would be like not sourcing art. I find it really annoying when I read something on the guides but have NO fucking idea where it's from, or even if it's legit at all or just made up by the person that threw in the edit. A lot of extremely small fandoms source their shit on their wikias obsessively because of roleplay purposes, even though their communities are rather small. The RS wikia doesn't do a very good job of sourcing lore anyway.

It's not for the people outside of RS, it's for our own community, and our own community has expressed that we fucking need to start sourcing our shit because some of the stuff on these guides is honestly wonky as fuck and a proper source would clear out all of the bull shit from the guides.
