Looks like it should be controlled by $wgActiveUserDays.  30 is the default.  Not sure why it would be set to 91 for any wiki, weird.

Older versions of MediaWiki.

Have you added the extension to where a user must answer a question before saving the edit?
Yes, but it doesn't stop human vandals.

Oh, we've had a ton of proposals and discussions regarding coverage. What we cover now is the result of those discussions.

Well, we've had the same coverage policy for several years now and it seems alright. I've thought about adding more coverage, but I don't want to get too crazy.

NIWA Discussion / Re: Donkey Kong Wiki problem

You should read my last post--I just said that we purposefully cover non-Mario series. We don't claim Smash Bros. to be a spin-off, it's just one of the series we choose to cover. Here's out coverage policy; Smash is classified as a crossover series.

The Super Mario Wiki covers the Mario series and any series in close proximity. That's what we've always done and it's what we love to do. So you could argue the name is a bit of a misnomer, but Mario is the main series from which we branch off from, and we're not changing it to Mario Wiki Plus Friends of Mario (although that name is kind of amusing). So you'll have to think of it as more than a single series wiki, and that's not going to change, since we certainly didn't join NIWA to cover less.

There's a reason I made sure DKWiki was okay with the fact that MarioWiki would not change what it covers, because of the overlap. But it's still great for them because they get to continue doing what they were doing anyway, but with the support of NIWA and friends. We tried splitting up the MarioWiki once, and we're just not doing that again. A Wario or Yoshi wiki would be given the same disclaimer, and if they are fine with it, I wouldn't object to adding them.

The Super Mario Wiki covers Smash Bros. too, but if you want to browse the wiki just for Smash Bros. info it's tough because that's not how the wiki is set up. SmashWiki works because everything is based around Smash Bros., and the same goes for DKWiki or any other potential, more-focused wiki.

Yeah, I'd love to have a normalized Monaco.

There is no rule against overlapping coverage. DKWiki was made aware that MarioWiki would continue covering the same series, and they were fine with that. Sorry to let you down.

Someone already has.

Would they merge with the Mario Wiki or create a new DK Based Wiki if they were to agree?
New DK-based wiki!
