Is there a Help Page on Edit Farming? Like there is on Sockpuppetry? If there isn’t, should there be one? As far as I know Edit Farming is a pretty common phrase, but if you don’t know what it is, it’s when a user spams repetitive & unhelpful edits with the sole purpose of artificially inflating their edit count. This is often a problem on Wikis with Achievements enabled, or other forms of edit-based reward systems.
Seeing as I & many other administrators have probably had to deal with this kind of thing, likely on Wikis of varying sizes, I’m surprised that I couldn’t find a Help Page on this concept. I may just be a poor searcher, & if that’s the case then a link to that page would be appreciated, but if it isn’t the case then shouldn’t a Help Page be created? I read the Improving help pages article, but it doesn’t say anything about when new pages are permitted. Do we have to ask Staff or something? I’m happy to just make the page locally, but I think all Wikis could benefit from it being in Shared Help, so what should be done?
