If everyone labelled it 'too lazy to do it properly,' [[WP:WSS]]
members would be out of a job :)

of referencing in en:wp articles, using the <reference> system, cite

The <reference> system is simple enough *conceptually* as well as
syntactically to be highly usable. It lets you write your citation
down in the exact place a claim is made, then formats everything
nicely.
The cite templates are byzantine. I'm not going to figure them all out
any more than I'm going to learn every variety of stub template - I
know a few, but often I'll just put {{stub}} and let someone who wants
to pick the precisely correct one. I hope this comes across more as
"division of labour" than "too lazy to do it properly" ;-)
