We're not. It's just that rather than
have the links for the sources
on each and every page, we link to a single central page with the
details of the sources. ("census daya is sourced from X, place names
are taken from these two databases, etc.")
It's a kludge, and it's not how we'd do it now, but the fact is it's
there.
I don't think that's too bad, but it shouldn't be in the main
namespace, as it's not really encyclopaedic information in itself -
it's meta information, like a template. I guess we don't have a good
way of dealing with these, but imho project namespace would be
preferable.
The current database download designed for mirrors contains "Articles,
templates, image descriptions, and primary meta-pages." How is a
meta-page designated a "primary meta-page"? Would that be an
appropriate description of this page?
