A WikiKitten is an editor whose edits are a little Myspace, and who usually has at least ten edits to the mainspace. They strive for recognition, and usually look for friends to help them out. They will normally look for little things to fix while editing, like correcting spelling or replying to talk page posts; their edits escalate from there. Some WikiKittens exhibit roadrunner editing tendencies.
Some WikiKittens need help and attention to become good editors, but most of the time they manage to make it on their own. They are fairly good at fighting off vandals, though they sometimes have trouble discovering them. WikiKittens nearly always act in good faith, though some of the time they don't. When a WikiKitten acting in good faith is mistaken for a vandal, they can get quite sensitive and will either lash out or retreat into the den.
WikiKittens who manage to grow up usually develop into either WikiCats or WikiPumas. Sometimes they might even develop into WikiGryphons, though this is highly unlikely. They are unlike WikiPuppies in that the WikiKitten will usually have more edits to the mainspace, might want to work independently without a large friend-group, and will get over kittenhood faster. Nonetheless, they will usually remain friends with their Wikipedian friends as long as they are on Wikipedia.
Identification[edit]
If you are a WikiKitten and wish to identify yourself so you are not mistaken for a vandal, feel free to put {{User:UBX/WikiKitten}} on your user page:
This user is a WikiKitten. - If you used to be a WikiKitten but have grown up into something else, put {{User:UBX/FormerWikiKitten}} on your user page:
This user used to be a WikiKitten, but has now grown up into a {{{1}}}.
