I have come up with a compromise for the Referata users and the conversion of their edits to the wiki. This compromise split into two parts: the Referata users waiting for rights, and those who are not waiting for rights.

Awaiting Rights

For users waiting for rights, the following calculations have been made based on your edit conversions to determine how long you would wait for any rights.


 * Each edit you had on Referata will be counted as 3/4 of an edit. Now, to contour to every user, the following calculations have been made below.

For example, Da Nerd had 1020 edits. Three-fourths of 1020 edits would be 765, which is Da Nerd's end calculation (EC). He then falls under the "less than 800" category.

In this case, Da Nerd would subtract 800 by 765, and get 35. He would then divide by 5, which is 7. This shows that Da Nerd which have to wait 7 days, or a week, to receive his rights.


 * If your end calculation is less than 300, such as Ponyo Fan, take your EC and subtract 300 by it. Then, divide that number by 5.

For example, Ponyo Fan had 272 edits. Three-fourths of 272 would be 204 edits. Divide that by 5, and you get about 19. Therefore, though seemingly a little long, Ponyo Fan would have to wait 19 days to receive her rights. That's only roughly a little more than 2 weeks!

Tanner had 2752 edits on Referata, making him fall into the "less than 2800 edits" category. Since Tanner's amount of edits is so high, an exception must be made in order to get a reasonable amount of days. The 3/4 conversion cannot apply to this, and therefore 2752 must be divided by 2800.

Therefore, Tanner must wait approximately 10 days for his rights.


 * If your EC is under 100 edits, for example, Loopa (or Ted), then apply the 3/4 conversion.

Loopa had 70 edits on Referata, making him fall into the "less than 100 edits" category. So, 3/4 of 70 is 52.5. Subtract 100 by 52.5, getting you 47.5. Divide 47.5 by 5, getting 9.5.

So, approximately, Loopa would have to also wait 10 days for his rights.

If it is under 300 edits, the same drill applies with the 3/4 conversion. The math will not be shown for this one, as I believe you all get the point.

Teleram - 272 edits; 6 days Simon - 83 edits; 8 days

Not Awaiting Rights

If you are not awaiting rights on our wiki, and you are user of the Referata community, then your edits will be counted in their entirety and logged as such. These edits will only count as of January 25, 2014, and will not change even if you continue to edit on the Referata community.

I hope you enjoyed the idea, and remember, you can always Support, be Neutral, or Oppose the idea. Thank you, and I hope the Referata community is pleased with the suggestion.
