Forum:Re: Mainspace editing

To those who are proponents of using large mainspace edit counts as a measurement of dedication and contribution to the wiki, be warned that with the recent implementation of achievements, many users are rapidly adding hundreds of edits to mainspace by adding and/or removing categories from articles. In many cases, the categories are incorrectly attributed due to being redundant, abandoned or having misleading titles. Under COD:AGF, these edits cannot be discredited. However, the end result is that multiple users can accumulate hundreds of mainspace "edits" by making an honest mistake and having others clean up the mess.

I take this chance to reinforce my point that mainspace editing is overrated. They're important, but quantity is hardly a measure of quality -- especially when considering how easy it is to rack up large editcounts from doing minor tasks. --Scottie theNerd 09:28, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
