I'm not to pleased when a wave of talk page edits occur for a certain amount of time, but let's look at the contributing factors: | ||
*We've "recently" added the '''[[ | *We've "recently" added the '''[[KHWiki:Mirage Arena|Mirage Arena]]''', which includes extra talk between users of who they're going to vote for, why, and so on. | ||
*'''Lots of new users'''- I like getting new users to help edit the Wiki, but with new users come a few things we just can't stop: One, most will be learning how to use Wikia's coding/traverse through the Wiki as most who join are first-time Wikia users. Therefore, they will be welcomed by a couple/few users (''talk page edit counts go up''), followed by asking about talk bubbles (''talk page edit counts go up''), and if you have to explain what a talkbubble is, even more ''talk page edit counts''. Once they have talkbubbles down, they'll start wondering about userboxes and other ways to customize their userpage (''talk page edit counts go up''). After they're coding spree settles down they'll start looking at forums and start commenting on them (could be viewed as ''talk page edit counts''). Finally, once the forum/trickle of article edits are done, they'll start wanting emotions for their talkbubble. (''talk page edit count goes up''). This is just a cycle we ultimately cannot stop, but we can advise new users to go to the IRC for all discussions not pertaining to editing the Wiki. | *'''Lots of new users'''- I like getting new users to help edit the Wiki, but with new users come a few things we just can't stop: One, most will be learning how to use Wikia's coding/traverse through the Wiki as most who join are first-time Wikia users.

*'''[[ | *'''[[KHWiki:Votes for featured media|Votes for Featured Media]]'''- again, "who are you voting for, why, etc." (''talk page edit count goes up'') | ||
*'''Wiki-princesses'''- Each user goes through they're own talk page editing spree, but they (normally) stop the massive edits to talk pages. However, some people just don't stop. They talk about anything and everything they want to, trivial or important, and ignore warnings/hints to cease the talk page edit spam. (for any Wiki-princesses out there reading this: please, take it to the IRC. No one cares if your dog, Fido, won the State Dog Competition, or if you lost your last baby tooth over the weekend. Now, the occasional formalities conversation is understandable, but every day? I think not.) | *'''Wiki-princesses'''- Each user goes through they're own talk page editing spree, but they (normally) stop the massive edits to talk pages. However, some people just don't stop.

{{The Inexistent|base='''Back to the "edit count doesn't matter" thing. It ''shouldn't'' matter, but that's not to say that it ''doesn't'' matter.''' | |||
'''Let's suppose that I am a noob. I am in need of assistance, so I'm going to ask someone for help. I've learned in my short time here that the number on top of a user's page is how many edits they've made, or, in other words, how much they have contributed. I have also seen the staff page. I've noticed that the people featured here have made several thousand of these things called "edits". So, naturally, I am inclined to ask people with many edits for help. But, how are these people supposed to know what to do if they've only made a handful of mainspace edits? You see, it shouldn't matter, but it is an issue.'''}} | |||
{{17m|text= should we give out warnings? Friendly warnings of course.}} | |||
{{Chitalian8|time=14:24, November 21, 2010 (UTC)|text= What would we say in the warnings? "Stop talking to other people and do some actual mainspace work?" I have a feeling that if we warned them, even if it was friendly, it could actually make the problem worse, since the people being warned would have some bad faith against the warners.}} | |||
{{LapisScarab|time=22:40, November 21, 2010 (UTC)|text=Whatever you say, don't say it like [[User talk:IceCreamRockz#You there|this]]. That is the definition of "bad faith warning".}} | |||
