From Elite Dangerous Wiki

It's the same kind of policy you'd see on most wikis: prove relevance, document sources. Your group is important to you and that's great but this wiki isn't about you, it's about the game and the Universe as a whole. Think of it this way: your school, your community, whatever sports teams you're a part of - those all have huge impacts upon your life, but does that mean they get pages on Wikipedia? No. They have to have relevance to the larger world beyond the scope of the people you know.

I know documentation sucks. To this day, I hate putting proper references on wikis. But if you truly believe something is worth knowing about, you have to convince others that it is worth knowing about and that's the reason that these sorts of policies exist. The burden of proof is upon you. It is upon you to decide whether it's worth it.
