Wikipedia:WikiRodent

A WikiRodent is a variety of WikiFauna, of Rodentia. Like the Rodent after which it is named, a WikiRodent has a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws. This makes their craving to use them and wear them down endless. However, due to their size, their bites are mostly harmless, unless an infection starts and causes a snowball effect that has the ability to ruin everything.

WikiRodent activity includes seed and spore dispersal, pollination, seed predation, energy and nutrient cycling, the modification of plant succession and species composition, and acting as a food source for many predators.

While dismissed by some as an annoying pest, the WikiRodent is vital for sparking discussions that need to be had on Wikipedia. WikiRodent behavior can indeed be a good practice because it will work a proposal/nomination process to perfection. Their proneness to controversy is done with good faith in mind, as can be seen by their indiscriminate scavenging. They are important to the ecosystem as few other fauna have any desire to participate in the conflicts that WikiRodents are usually found at.

Fairly often, WikiRodents will be brutally eaten by a WikiGryphon or other experienced fauna like the WikiSnake, whom instantly shuts down their squeaking.

Relationship with other WikiFauna
WikiRodents benefit just from the existence of others participating in Wikipedia, and are always found wherever there are other editors. Existing in a large number, WikiRodents are vital to feeding the ecosystem WikiFauna predators. The WikiRodent is quite social but can come off easily as annoying to other WikiFauna.

They loathe lame edit wars (and edit wars in general, tending to lose them) and prefer their conflicts to be productive and meaningful. This is part of the reason for why they will ask questions that others may tend to steer away from.

Identification
WikiRodents can be found engaging in a variety of somewhat precarious behavior:
 * Promoting controversial discussions
 * Playing devil's advocate
 * Frequently pinging other users (especially those with opposing viewpoints) in order to get a better consensus
 * Laughing at those who engage in edit wars
 * Consuming excess amounts of discourse
