Perhaps it is a combination of both new users being so used to other wiki's basic rules and nanny administrators that they view themselves as not responsible for these things and expect this wiki to be just like all the others, as well as the kids these days being these days' kids. I mean, this isn't just us grumbling in a echo chamber either, there's some academic merit to that kind of thinking. I've had to study it for both web design in my uni course and have read about it for my political work, i.e. the alienation, reification and hyper individualism of modern society resulting in people to more and more instinctively rely on authority figures who have the right training, position and specialisations, rather than having any sense of their own agency and capability to control anything beyond the most personal and internal parts of their lives.

People seem to view more and more as time progresses an extra click as being an insurmountable amount of work when they're spoon fed this shit elsewhere with the classic "Why can't the admins just do it for me?" attitude.
