...or fix the Wikipedia content, if you know of an appropriate term.

In decades living in or near places which had no obvious demonym, it hasn't been an issue. People just use terms such as "<name of place> resident". So, someone living in Abbotsford is an "Abbotsford resident", and someone who grew up in Abbotsford is "from Abbotsford". There's no need for a specific term, but it can be amusing to suggest them...

You're right, no need. I hate the term "San Antonian". Sounds like the name of a high school or hospital. But, that's what they use.
