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.
