Fake editor
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
In wiki encyclopedias some people add content. Others do 10 reverts for every real edit. Still others do 100% pure reverts—these are Fake editors.
On large wiki encyclopedias, these basement dwellers blend in, cleaning up vandalism. On smaller ones with no changes, they go stir-crazy, eventually reverting every new change ever made. Perhaps they've decided that the wiki they are on is perfect and needs no changes. Thinking about their utter devotion to Wikipedia makes you lulz with joy! See also criteria for speedy deletion.
Making Fake Edits to build edit count
PROTIP: Hit random article, then hit edit. Find a sentence and click after a period. Press space bar and save article. Re-edit and do it again. It's best to make all sentences have two spaces after them. This kind of thing is invisible in edit changes summary, even if you're using Enhanced Recent Changes, as well as in the article itself, but it builds up your edit count. Perfect for those wikipedia sock puppets and a fun way to get banned on a small wiki for spamming recent changes as there aren't many there so that shit gets noticed.
