::::This kind of thing works for Wikipedia because they're so large that individual users are lost in the mess, and attaching new people to old people is kind of the only way to notice them. SmashWiki is still small enough that a single user can keep track of every edit, so new users are easily detected and directed when necessary. Should a new user be looking for help, we have a reasonably stable core of active, skilled users that can usually help without requiring the assistance of a specific admin, and between SW:FIRST, the staff listing on SW:ADMIN, and the WhosOnline of RecentChanges, it's not hard to find someone. Simply put, the policy in a vacuum is not bad, but it does not fit the current state of the wiki.

Plus what everyone else already said, unnecessary bureaucracy is really bad, and just makes everything more difficult, complicated, and slower. A better, much faster and much simpler idea for struggling new users? Go to an active admin (or other prominent user) and post on their talk page "Hey, I need some help with X, blah blah blah", and there, they get the help they need near immediately or are directed to another user who can help them. No need at all to make a policy and whole request procedure for it. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 07:08, 23 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
