These aren't even mine contributions you deleted, and you might be even partially right, but in my humble opinion - your actions are taking too far.
You've deleted so many fixes at the same time, so it's more than sure you didn't even take an effort to verify any of them on your own. Here I need to explain that such actions derange lots of people, and discourages them from editing even if they have valuable input, so I can't even convince them to be the part of the community because of people here behaving this way (and it's not only you recently).
Also, contrary to your sump up, you've deleted lots of cited fixes and not only dubious choice of mods, among which some I personally find useful - especially higher quality cutscenes - be aware there are tons of HQ cutscene mods on this Wiki added by various people, and it's nothing new here. Please restore at least high quality cutscenes.
Also, please point me out if it there's any rule allowing to delete all uncited fixes (especially in bulk) in any way, because maybe I'm missing something. Kind reagrds

Could you clarify which ones those would be? Based on the link you provided, there's no actual referenced fixes that were removed. It's just a bunch of citation needed fixes that haven't received a reference from anyone in half a decade if not more.

Looking at the first two links, the comments clearly indicate the fixes listed are inconsistent, so not adding those back. The last one, however, most definitely works, so adding that one back. As for the other, uncited fixes? I'm not going to repeat what Aemony said for the old ones, but as for the newer ones (e.g. the ones from around 2022), which might've originated in those links? We are not here to play "what-ifs", and if PCGW staff members were to research every last uncited fix posted, we'd get nothing done.

...though to add one crucial thing to what Aemony said: one major reason why old, uncited fixes get removed is because the context around them changed. Specifically, the mouse 4/5 issue. It was a genuine issue back in 2016; however, that issue was patched out.
