Those people are in the minority though. We have over 21,000 pages - Say 1 in 21 pages needs a 2-second edit. Having a hundred two-second editors (as you say) greatly increases the chance of finding those pages via the random page search, than the people who spend a very large amount of time on them. In fact, the job of maintaining pages actually gets easier the more editors we have, because there are more people who visit occasionally (90-99% of visitors to wikis generally just read, not edit). However, since we are a large part of the wikia community - a larger number of our editors are actually major contributors to other wikis - which means that they are more likely to edit than, say, the users of Wikipedia.

The editors I just mentioned are more likely to drop by to check out something from our site - and they will make those minor changes if they see them, and then go mosey along to another wikia sub-site. We want to be as open as we can to editors such as these - because they make up a large portion of our editors. (Heck, I myself first found the site after checking out another game's wikia - i forget which one).

Anyways - I agree with the different colour thing - personally, I dislike it. However, the community voted on it, and said they wanted it, and, well, its a community wiki.
