Forum:Registered to edit
Hi guys. I noticed a number of users from SmashWiki and just users in general have been unhappy with the amount of vandalism from the wiki, which is mostly from the IPs. I was wondering if you guys want to disable IP edits, so that only users with registered accounts will be able to edit. It will be similar to how SmashWiki previously was. This should really lower the vandalism.
It'd be nice if you guys could reason on why this should be added. For example, I wouldn't mind allowing only registered users editing; I've noticed much of the vandalism is from IPs so preventing them from editing would result in less vandalism. It will also encourage users to create accounts which has more benefits than editing anonymously.--Richard 23:48, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'll state the case that registered-only editing is extremely effective, from what I can see, at WoWWiki. Would it be helpful here? I would say not, as it isn't such a large wiki... What I can see more benefit in having would be more people with rollback capabilities (if not administrative capabilities), however, and more people on IRC. However, this is not an official stance. --Sky (t · c · w) 00:24, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
