{{User:Defiant Elements/Section header|#aaaaaa|#f8f8f8|#fefefe|Advice to my Fellow SmashWikians}} | |||
#Privacy doesn't exist on Wikis; if you don't want any random person who happens to be watching Recent Changes to be able to read and comment on your conversations, take your conversations offwiki. | |||
#In re RfAs | |||
#*Although RfAs act as poll insofar as they gauge relative levels of support and opposition for a particular candidate, they are not vote counts, they are tools to aid the Bureaucrats. If you want your "vote" to mean anything, it absolutely has to be backed up with some kind of rationale beyond "candidate X is a cool guy." | |||
#*General edit counts are meaningless. Yes, edit counts may demonstrate level of activity and general dedication, but they have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on how a candidate will preform. However, certain ''kinds'' of edits -- edits to the SmashWiki namespace, for instance -- may be better indicators. | |||
#Don't create conversation fragments. If someone leaves a query or a comment on your talk page, respond on your talk page. The expectation is that if that person is looking for a response, they'll be keeping an eye on your talk page (either with Recent Changes or with their Watchlist). | |||
#Deal quietly with vandals (i.e. don't feed the vandals). Vandals are looking for attention, they want to get a rise out of someone. Responding to them, beyond a simple, initial warning, is likely to merely reinforce their desire to vandalize. The more quietly you deal with them, the faster they go away -- they all do eventually. | |||
