Just here to give my two cents worth:

@Raggy

1. I don't think Alxnr was talking about the ban, his point was that even a warning for the first offence may seem too unfriendly and off-putting. Maybe we could figure out a system where there's an unofficial warning of sorts? A reminder first, before the first official warning.

2. Well I think a potential issue here is the users aren't even aware that they've uploaded an inappropriately named picture. They just click upload, the system never even asks them what they want to name it to, it just all happens and you also won't even know that the picture ended up on the site exactly how it was named in their computer. When I first joined I added a picture onto my userpage randomly and I was lucky I had it named somewhat appropriately. It wasn't until months later that I discovered how image naming on this wikia works.

3. This I agree, but preferably only when they have had a fair chance of reading the rules. As it is, the automated message only appears after their first edit. I know the rules are still there on the wikia on the top bar, but still, just something to consider.

@Alxnr

The question is, how would you get this guide out to all the potential new editors before they start making their first edit? I'm just wondering whether it would really be worth your effort to make.
