Nice to see you're still tad condescending and overall acting like you know better.

"Her being described as an "infant" in the wiki is a very incorrect statement." - yeah because you're acting like you're definitely correct which isn't even true at all as it's a difficult subject.

Nowhere do the bios say she wasn't, and as you mentioned Sindel's ending showed her as a child. The main point is that it /could/ have been mindfuckery, yet there's nothing really to back it up aside from Shaolin Monks which barely contributes to the canonocity of the series' story. And thus any use of non-canon stuff like the animated series make the point rather moot. The keyword there is: could, it's still speculative on that end.

"The Edenian War probably lasted many years actually (shown in MK Armageddon's konquest mode with Taven and in Rain's bio from the rebooot), so she definitely had time to grow up during the war."

A fairly decent point, but for one thing we have no idea how Edenian ageing works at all, especially in regards to them being children, we know Kitana's over 10,000 years of age but that's it. We have no idea how the development from child to adult in appearance works for an Edenian, and especially given how she's still considered young in terms of age. And given how Sindel's biography mentions it was 10,000 years after her death she was brought back which in itself her ending also refers to Kitana as 10,000 years of age. So unless there's exact mathematics regarding Kitana's exact age, which there isn't the closest to deduce is she was an infant at the time.

"But in defeating Shao Kahn, Sindel frees the Earth. In doing so, she also liberates Edenia and insures a reunion with her 10,000 year old daughter - Kitana.""

"Sindel once ruled the Outworld at Shao Kahn's side as his queen. Now 10,000 years later after her untimely death, she is reborn on Earth with evil intentions. Sindel is the key to Kahn's occupation of Earth.""

And in regards to Rain's ending, it explicitly mentions the Edenian Resistance, which is still active at the time of Deception's Konquest mode and it's more than likely it was still a thing when Shao Kahn took control of Edenia.

"She recognizes her mother in MK9, so she couldn't have been a child when she died." That's grasping at straws to argue your point, because again we have no idea how ageing works with Edenian's, for all we know they could have good enough memories and I doubt it was dead on 10,000 years later so it's not impossible for Kitana to have been with her mother for at least a year or two as an infant with Sindel enough for her to recognise her in MK9.
