You were correct in stating that current sysops do not care for those namespaces. I certainly do not, but I moderate them (or should I say "moderated" when I was more active) occasionally. Personally, I do not think many of your proposed points are necessary and seem to only serve the purpose of punishing rather than fixing -- not that I necessarily believe anything needs fixing. ''' All in all, I sincerely believe we should focus on things of higher importance such as actually editing articles. ''' There would be more to patrol, more edits to rollback, more articles to delete, if there was actual editing activity. Okay, we seriously need to get out of this "the mainspace is more important than anything else" idea. Wikis are a community that revolve around stuff people love, it used to be all about editing and whatnot but now it seems to have expanded. On this Wiki, the Forums, chat, etc probably get more users than the whole Mainspace. So why are we continuing to keep up this idea that the Mainspace is all that matters? That users should only be given Admin flags (which have tools that can influence the whole site) only when they edit? This seems to be quite honestly an outdated system to me, and overall might lead to this Wiki declining in quality since the popular sections of the site are going to be ignored.
