The issue about creating stubs was solved; we explained to them, implemented a new rule, and added warnings to necessary pages. The issue was our particular wiki does not allow for stubs, and - by stubs - I mean articles of literally just one sentence or a very tiny list of 'stats'. The stubs were for unused characters that appeared only on fan-submission pages, and have never been used or given speaking lines or included elsewhere. Nothing could be added.

The issue - as mentioned - is the sheer volume of edits.

They are doing hundreds of edits at a time, today is at least a hundred over a four-hour period. It is a ridiculous amount, when our administrators have to go through every one to make sure rules have been followed, there's no vandalism, etc. etc. The edits aren't mostly bad edits, but they are very unsubstantial; sometimes literally just moving lines in source code or adding a single name to "other names" or a link to an infobox.

Yes, a few edits are good ones, like infoboxes and images to episode lists, but that is at the expense of all the other types of edits, as well as infoboxes to articles that were purposely left without infoboxes, because they were stubs and it means we'd have an empty page with just an infobox; leaving us to change rules, have a word, and make sure all articles are at least formatted with headers as per our 'article layout' rules.

It's very easy to say "try to keep up" when we aren't paid staff, have lives and stuff we wish to contribute, and have to manually check said hundreds of edits.

He may have four hours straight to spare a day, but we don't.
