I'm just another insignificant user, but it seems to me that this will increase Wikia activity... in a very bad way. This encourages spam and fluff edits. Then, not only is the wiki filled with a community of users that don't actually help, it undermines the very purpose of Wikia: To make a community of constructive editors and make wikis where anyone can help. Spamming doesn't seem like "helping," does it?

Good God, I can imagine if this became mandatory for all wikis. That would be the day that I left this (otherwise wonderful) website forever...
