Interesting idea. I've rethought the situation and
we may need to
differentiate here between the English and non-english wikipedias. The
portal pages in the non-english wp's are often underdeveloped and may need
less strict rules (for now) like you suggest here. But in the English wp
most of the portals are well-developed and could use a higher level of
protection IMHO.
I agree with this. It's pretty much a function of total traffic, I
think. The busier a site gets, then the more jerks who will find it.
_And_ the more sick pleasure to be gotten from defacing it.
(But also, and this is the neat thing: more brainpower available to
fix it and defend it! But we don't want to waste our energy fighting
trolls.)
One more thing: I would very much like my KP to be
between me and the
software, not publically available. We don't need people to start doing
millions of minor edits and putting up a KP counter on their homepages!
Rather start getting new abilities automagically and almost without
noticing it. In fact, really without noticing it in a lot of cases, I'm
sure.
I think this is really an interesting angle. I was thinking in
exactly the opposite direction, but I can see your side of this, too.
I was thinking that it would be a fun form of recognition to see who
has the most points. But, we don't want to encourage people to be
"karma whores".
