Being the author makes Kishimoto god of his fictional universe. That's why the wiki follows his word for in-universe matters unwaveringly (if reluctantly); because he's the prime authority.

Outside of his fictional universe, though, Kishimoto is just some guy. He's an important guy, a guy to be sure to take note of, but in the real world other considerations can take priority if so desired. If the wiki decides it is prudent to ignore some of Kishimoto's out-of-universe decisions, that is the wiki's freedom to do.
