There was absolutely no reason to do that, and so many reasons why this shouldn't have been done. So many articles are started by anonymous users, and now we deny them the possibility to contribute. I see stuff on the Web about registering, and I shudder (or turn to Bugmenot.) Adding such text could encourage honest anon editors to register (but it could encourage vandals, too.) Massysett 20:40, 5 December 2005 (UTC) This is outrageous. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to add some text about how easy it is to create a new account to Mediawiki:Nocreatetext. 24.17.48.241 20:24, 5 December 2005 (UTC) Good idea a staggering number of new pages are garbage.
Well, mass adding has started-dozens of small school articles that say nothing but that it's a school, and maybe the district and/or city name, have been created recently. And another note from Jimbo said to the effect of 'we should accomodate the occasional school article, but it would be a problem if people start mass adding them'. IE 'nothing but an infobox or navbox' should be speediable, as should bios that don't say who, what, and when, etc. Lack of people doing newpages patrol, and the increased 'noise' from ever-increasing tolerance of users adding large quantities of micro-stubs seem like problems that solving would provide more benefit than restricting anons. I guess I'm wondering if people are remembering that creating "new" pages is necessary to properly nominate articles for AfD, FAC, etc. Creidieki 19:14, 5 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks for providing the link. The text that anonymous users see when attempting to edit is at Mediawiki:Nocreatetext, if users have comments on the wording. Anonymous users can still create Talk pages. The Seigenthaler case is stated as one of the motivating factors. This was announced by Jimbo Wales on the WikiEN mailing list.
