@GD: To account for your comments in order:


 * 1) You don't have to help everyone change from using recolors. All you would need to do is leave a comment saying "recolors aren't the best way to display your character", and THAT would be more constructive than all the complaints and insults. Bonus points if you actually bother to give them suggestions.


 * 2) If an article isn't touched in forever, that's why we have the waiting period for Standards violations, so people CAN work on the article. The Construction template isn't supposed to protect any and all articles forever, just the ones there the owner proves they are willing to work on the articles. There's a reason there's a distinction for blatantly terrible articles.


 * 3) You don't care, but the people who actually own the character would. If you had to use a stick figure drawing for Mia or Aurora, would you? No. You went to someone who could make the pictures for you. Not everyone has that option, so they have to do something. Again, it comes back to no-one actually trying to help these people.


 * 4) I'm not the only admin on this wiki, but I do seem to be the only one who gives a flying f*** about the people who owns these lower-quality articles, and understands there's more to this wiki than shallow appearances to outside internet-goers.

We have policies that allow people to call out other Users on their recoloring, and do something about it if the person responsible doesn't admit to it. Or did you guys conveniently forget about that voted in rule because you didn't like it?
