Wikipedia Edit Score

I believe that Wikipedia should have an edit score, so when someone is thinking about promoting you up a rank they can make an informed decision. The way this score would work in theory is you would get about 2-3 points per small edit 4-5 points per medium edit and 6-7 points per large edit. These point numbers would be automatically determined by how much the file size of the article increases. If you make an nonconstructive edit or vandalism the admins can take a way a certain amount of points (somewhere in between 1-25). If a bot is what flagged the edit as nonconstructive or vandalism they would take away 15 points, and you would be given the option to explain what you were doing possibly either lowering the amount of points taken away or even nullifying it, but to discourage people from just contesting every single point taken away from them you could set up a strike system where after having 3-5 contested point losses where the point value wasn't lowered they would get temporarily banned if they hadn't already gotten banned for the repeated vandalism. You could also use this system instead of just having to wait to get certain auto confirmed statuses you could just set a point threshold that you have to reach before getting these roles.

Also, under these guidelines I would have roughly an edit score of 190. Beauzo2979 (talk) 19:29, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

February 2024

Hello, I'm Fanfanboy. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Ordovician have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

The Edit that I reverted was an nonconstructive edit. Beauzo2979 (talk) 17:06, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Ok I think what happened was you tried to revert the non-constructive edit, but didn't see that it had already been reverted so you reverted the reversion Fanfanboy (talk) 17:08, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

You're doing good

The warning I gave you could be considered void as it was only because of a simple mistake. It seems most of what you do is Anti-Vandalism and you seem to be doing a decent job. However I would highly recommend using tools such as Twinkle and/or RedWarn to make reverting, and warning much easier. Fanfanboy (talk) 17:19, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I just came here to make the same recommendation (WP:TWINKLE). You reverted content blanking on Khmer traditional clothing by an IP editor, however they made two edits in a row, both of which removed a large amount of content, so you only reverted one of those edits. If you used twinkle, your single-click revert would have removed both of their edits. I've restored the article to an earlier version.

Another benefit of twinkle is that you can configure it to automatically open the talk page for the user that you reverted and provides an easy-click menu to select a warning comment. Warning editors that you've reverted for improper editing is helpful for two reasons: (1) it informs the editor about what they're doing wrong so they can hopefully improves, and (2) it provides a history of warnings that can be used when necessary as grounds to block a vandal.
