Look at this, and look at this. They are nearly identical pages. Why should I (or anyone) be able to create the same page, over and over again for separate series, when I'm the owner of all of these series? This clearly doesn't have the potential for badge farming... right? Right?

You may argue that this has rarely been done, but I'm sure that doing a quick search will prove you wrong. You'll find out that this has been done numerous times in the past, with an example of this being the Unbound pages. Users such as Waybig have done this in the past for badge farming, but they have thankfully stopped. Do you want this violation of the rules to continue?

Essentially, what I'm asking for is this: a rule that focus on preventing one user from creating the same alien (with a similar appearance and etc) multiple times, resulting in them having to expand a page such as "Diamondhead (User's Name)". If a page from the past is determined to be very similar to another page owned by the creator, then he/or she will be contacted in order to see if they will merge the pages. If it is a user that has left the wiki/been blocked, then a user could merge the information from both of the pages into what it should be. That part is ultimately up to the admins.

Voting ends on 3/3/17.
