- User must be Rank 5 or higher, unless the user is known from the old MBs (look for high post count and a "Ye [rank] of Olde" badge).
- If an MB user who doesn't meet the above criteria is a Wiki member, he/she may have a user article created.

ALL POSTSNew User Article Guidelines
<p>Something which we need to sort out is the creation of new user articles. This is more of a "prevention is better than cure" thing, as we don't really have this problem, but I'd like to get it fixed.

But "known" is far too ambigous. Who has to know them? Alemas? A couple of mods? How will we know when someone has become "known"?

<p>Exactly, we shouldn't have such huge variations of what's acceptable for articles and what isn't. :P

<p>If on the old MBs they had over a thousand posts then their qualified, unless they did something important like make a popular topic or something, maybe?

<p>I think that the join date should be factored in. :P Like, use their number of old MBs posts, divide those into the number of days on the old MBs and figure out their average number of posts per day. :P IDK, I actually really don't care, but I don't want people to be making absolutely pointless articles for the only logical purpose of gaining more edits, thus points, leaderboards, what ever. :P
