Revision as of 23:45, 9 September 2019
Place any proposals in this page under new sections. Debate will be open until 11:59:59 UTC on September 22nd, 2019! Please keep all discussion civil!
Allow anonymous users to edit unprotected pages
As it is, all users must create an account to edit pages. As Results May Vary (Talk) pointed out on the main talk page, however, it could be beneficial to the wiki to allow users to edit without an account. It may increase the risk of vandalism, yes, but this is easily reverted by a few button clicks. Oftentimes, anonymous editors are just users reading an article casually, see an error, and decide to fix it. They may not think it's worth making an account over, as they might not make any other edits to the wiki. Casual readers can very well catch errors that regular editors don't, and our current policy might be outright discouraging towards casual readers making a couple minor fixes. Plus, other major wikis such as the Super Mario Wiki and even Wikipedia seem to do just fine allowing IP edits. As RMV pointed out, we might also need to add the CAPTCHA to apply to any anonymous edits to prevent automated spam.
Overall, I think that the pros outweigh the cons and allowing IP edits would be beneficial to our wiki. What say you all? --—Preceding unsigned comment added by YoshiFlutterJump (talk • contribs) 19:23 September 8th, 2019. Please always sign your comments by typing ~~~~!
