Speaking as someone that would like to update wiki information, I find it problematic that the dev team had time to write jokes on so many IDs yet did not have time to update faction infocards.
Bretonia and Kusari still list each other as enemies yet neither has any mention of Gallia at all. Is Bretonia not, in fact, at war with Gallia with this mod update? What is the status of Kusari and Gallia? I know this info is in the new LORE, it just isn't in the infocards to be easily copied from FLStat.
The Order and Corsairs still list each other as allies when this is no longer the case.
I'm sure there are many more examples, especially with all the faction updates in all the year 818 threads. These two are just a taste of the inconsistencies I'm running into.
Between the joke IDs and lack of infocard updates, I'd call this update very sloppy.

The Wiki is not an official source of information. It is not maintained nor checked for accuracy explicitly by the Dev team, but certain Devs do have a hand in its maintenance.
Also bear in mind that the mod is still technically in Beta, and the next update is supposed to be final.

The IDs were written by a few individuals (I rather enjoy the IDs). Faction infocards and rumors were the work of a very small team of people. The volume of work on that team was immense. Xoria pubically asked for help many times.
If you have such a problem with it, feel free to volunteer your time to help update them. It was better to get the update out to the community, than let it sit in limbo over a few faction info cards.
You can also drop a line in the development section with the exact details on which faction infocards aren't proper and hope that some of that very small team is still active and feels like updating them.

I do believe we actually collated updated faction infocards a few months ago for that specific purpose, and they were formally submitted back then. If they haven't been applied, then either the Official Faction leader representing the NPC faction does not exist or failed to submit a request for updates to the Infocard team; or whichever Dev in charge of taking the submitted updates and putting them into the mod itself didn't do it for whatever reason.
So basically, if there is no official faction or input from it, developer team ignores that NPC faction in spite of possible use of that faction on other servers or by indies on this one?

Blame whoever is in charge of Infocards.
Also, this is not a bug reporting thread, nor is it even in the bug reports subforum. That is where this matter needs to be taken, as it will not be acknowledged otherwise.
