- 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.
</p><p>I propose the following guidelines to add to the MoS:

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

<p>Yeah, Alemas. You may not realize it, but the number of posts people make hasn't shrunk. If anything, I'd say it's grown. :S

<p>Wait a minute now... Who cares if we create articles even as low as rank two? What is it hurting? Too many for the patrollers to handle or something? Wikia doesn't run out of space, and neither does this wiki. The more articles we have, the better the wiki <i>is</i>. And it's not like all our active editors are gonna start creating low rank articles all the time. And even if they do, then we should be happy that they're making pages. It's not that hard to update them all once a month, or something. I don't get this.
