EnderChas wrote: Also Frown, can you clarify what 'shit edits' are so I know? Shit edits are basically edits that are easy to make, and serve no purpose other than to increase edit count quickly and easily. Examples include:
 * Adding categories to a page one by one instead of adding them in just one edit
 * Responding to a thread several times in a row, when the replies could easily be condensed into one.
 * Editing out mistakes in an article one by one, instead of just scouring the article for mistakes and editing them out in one go
 * Adding trash categories, duplicate ones and stuff like that.

In all of these examples, the person doing those things is trying to artificially increase his/her edit count. Obviously, adding several categories in one edit, then adding one because you forgot to add it is different. However, when a pattern of "forgetting" becomes apparent, action should be taken.
