Maybe we should... just as page moving is disabled until you have a certain number of edits, so should new page creation. It would probably save VFD a whole lot of trouble.
No!No!No! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Totally daft idea! The first edit I ever made was creation of a new page. And it was a crappy stub. And had I not been allowed to make it I may never have become hooked.
See disclaimer :) But it would stop the amount of junk having to be scraped out of VFD, yes?
Disclaimer or no, there are people who would take that reason seriously as a justification. This sort of thinking is an example of why VFD as it is currently constituted is poisonous to the wiki.
