Wikipedia:WikiOtter

This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously.

This page in a nutshell: WikiOtters are there to help out other users and WikiFauna. They can get mean and vicious when somebody picks on a newcomer, and may also become mischievous when they feel the rules tightening around them.

WikiOtters are elusive creatures whose chief characteristic is a willingness to help other users out by editing or simply being friendly. Although the WikiOtter is a benevolent type of WikiFauna, it is a member of the weasel family and will readily challenge much more "important" editors, as well as opposing WikiVampires. For example, they are fierce fighters against anyone who picks on a newcomer. WikiOtters also have a tendency to lighten the encyclopedia with harmless play, humor, and a total respect for WP:Ignore all rules.

The WikiOtter has been most recently evaluated using the IUCN 3.1 guidelines as extinct in the wild, based on a recent survey performed by the Department of Fun. The last WikiOtter was believed to have died in 2012, until three new specimens were spotted and tagged in 2013. In recent years, the Department of Fun has made an effort to stimulate the wild population of WikiOtters by promoting overall awareness of them. The "This User Wants a WikiOtter" campaign, which makes use of {{User wikipedia/wantOtter}} signs, proved for a short time to be a successful one for promoting the needed awareness. A wildlife reservation has been set up in the last few years for the primary purpose of preserving the WikiOtter and another critically endangered species, the WikiDragon. Due to the low production rate of WikiOtters, there are only 58 otters. Currently, there is a spike in inactivity in the species though the population has been growing.
