Then why don't we fix that information!?

Especially since doing so is so stupidly easy?

There is zero reason why the effects section must 100% correlate with the in-game text, especially given the in-game text is wrong!

If people want to see what the game has to say, they can look in the actual game.

If people want to see what it actually does, that's when they go to the wiki. So why are we making those people's lives more difficult when we could just list it right there?

...

Let me rephrase this. If I'm looking for a list of monsters in world of warcraft, I want to see their names, their weaknesses, and their damage types. I don't give a damn if the lore on them says they're weak to fire if they're not actually weak to fire in-game.

Put that useless lore information on the actual page, so people who want to read it can. But the entire purpose of an aggregate page is to save time, time wasted searching through each and every page individually.

That purpose is completely null and void if the information presented is so wrong that they have to go through each page individually to make sure the information on the aggregate page is actually correct, and not just incorrect information foolishly preserved for the sake of posterity and looking pretty!
