Forum:User page policy

Hello everybody.

Our admins have agreed to create a new policy regarding the use of user pages. These rules were based off the Ratchet & Clank wiki's rules, and these rules are common on pretty much every big wiki.

Essentially, if you edit your userpage too much, your userpage will be protected. This sounds shocking, but we are really concerned about the amount of users who never contribute to the wiki, or rarely do.

You can talk with friends as much as you want on forums, chat sites and IRC, but the Club Penguin Wiki is not a forum!

These will be the restrictions:

Restrictions
As a user, your user page should not be the primary contribution to the Club Penguin Wiki. Therefore there are some editing rules for how often you may edit your user page. Please contact an administrator if you have any concerns.
 * The following restrictions take place after you make 50+ total edits to the Club Penguin Wiki:
 * If your user page edit percentage totals over 40% you will receive a warning.
 * If your user page edit percentage then reaches 45% or more your user page will be protected for a while until your user page edit percentage drops to below 35%.
 * If your talk page is being heavily used as a forum or an exchange of conversations, you will be warned.

See Special:Editcount for your current edit percentages.

Now I understand we haven't had a public vote, but this thing is essential for any wiki! Remember, you can always have a good time with other people without your userpage! If you have any concerns, please post them below this line. The policy will be taken into effect this week at the soonest, so please be prepared, as your page may be protected! -- Tigernose    Chat   •  Edits   21:23, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

As this policy was based off the R&C userpage policy, I was also thinking about drafting in other similar user page rules as found on this page. -- Tigernose    Chat   •  Edits   21:23, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Reminds me of Bulbapedia's 4 user page edits per day, to prevent overediting of user pages. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 21:39, April 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * We should write a bot to automatically protect pages or block people or something. -- seahorseruler | Talk  (EditCount) Yoshi! 23:25, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * If you register for a wiki, that means you need to help it.-- Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose/profile|20px]]  Chat   •  Edits   22:07, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, this is crap. Complete crap. What about user's who edit their userpage often. Are you gonna show sympathy to them? ARE YOU? - Ozone101 22:14, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
