contribs) – I understand that I am slightly new - on this Wiki, but I have plenty of experience, in my opinion, with Wikipedia.
I do Recent Changes Patrol, New Changes Patrol, I monitor high-profile pages, espech Wikipages (including the Main Page). I am familiar with many Wiki features, like:
I have Popups, Godmode-light (Rollback), RC Filter, etc and other 'advanced tools'.
In closing: I believe Adminship/sysop status should not be given out on the basis of edit count. There are political and technical arguments against this. The technical side is that adding all users above a certain edit count to an implicit group would require at least one extra query on page view; this could turn into an unreasonable performance demand. There's a workable solution to this, however. On the political side of things; This is a wiki where "editcountitis" is discouraged and in some cases, condemned. An edit count is not a valuable indicator of a user's trustworthiness where Adminship/sysop status is concerned, nor is it a good indicator of the value, quality and integrity of their contributions.
Thank You Sincerely,
