If you do it on your own wiki, go ahead. But it’s not something I would recommend you do elsewhere. That’s a good suggestion for Sebastian Clarke since they wanted to know a means of keeping track of the pages made. Like I chose “Page creation” so I could find and monitor the point I was up to, I was also collecting some badges in a certain order since I was feeling fancy and wanted to make it extra nice.

I believe all of here are referring to our own wikis, pages need to be made anyway so may as well attain a nice piece of art for the badge image gallery. No way is it vandalism you can never have too many good edits, all the better if it encourages other users to take part. With Banana Fish I have found helping new contributors create and edit new pages makes for a good learning curve for them and also fosters a nicer community spirit, more so than being unhelpful and saying you would block them for wanting to take part.

In any case stop the train at once, I think we all need to hold up, not so fast, what is this elephant doing in the room? Tupka217 you yourself have boasted that you made extra edits solely to get a badge, and this was on several wikis no less.

And check it out everyone, we actually have some confessions that:

Proof. And I don’t doubt it,

what’s with this play pretend act now?

The admins of that time were happy for your maniacal rabid pouncing and so you should help others if they want to get the Pounce! Badge on the wikis you manage. Better yet provide pages the wiki needs for them and help people contribute instead of blocking them for behaviour you clearly relish and drool over like nothing else.

You are also welcome for me explaining how to attain this badge which no one else knew how to get. I would recommend everyone have fun adding to their wikis, except for the wikis Tupka217 manages of course.

That is until he provides you pages so you too can have a chance at being as good as pouncer as him.
