Well, no. The people who write Wikipedia are the people who go and write articles. Participation in community support activities (RD, HD), internal community processes (RFA) and editorial content meta-debates (AFD) is ancillary to writing articles, and there are no shortage of people who spend far more time there than they do actually, you know, writing.
What I meant was that you see them in those places. Most of them do loads of mainspace work too. The fact that many of the edits are automated and insignificant makes no difference because there are so many of them. Ips mainl do typo work
