Yesterday, I had a couple of hours to kill, so I decided to improve the tag wiki by writing summaries and descriptions for some tags where those were missing. I didn't modify any existing descriptions, except in a single case, where I replaced generic text (excerpt from Wikipedia) with a text that addressed the use of that specific keyword in a Drupal context. Today, I see that only a single one of my suggested tag wiki descriptions have been accepted. The rest must have been rejected by the moderators (my "edit" button is grayed out and I get the "Too many of your edits were rejected, try again in 7 days"-message).

I am familiar with the reasons edits are rejected (summarised here). I want to find out how they apply in my case. The edits were not minor, since I typed in complete desscriptions where none existed previously. They were not comments. And they were not derogatory. This means that the moderators decided that they were wrong. I am of course not the final judge of that, but I belive I know Drupal reasonable well, and I took care describing the meaning of the tag in a Drupal context, rather than just supplying a dictionary or wikipedia-like description. If I thought I did not have a clear understanding of the tag in relation to Drupal, I did not write a description for the tag.

Now, being locked out og editing for seven days is not the end of the world. But in a sense, I feel I am being penalised for doing what I belived was a civic act. And I am not happy about my work being rejected. I will certainly not attempt to supply any more tag wiki descriptions here - ever.

But I wonder: Are there any guidelines for how to write tag wiki descriptions? Since mine were rejected for being wrong, I am curious about the specifications for writing correct ones.

PS: When editing is blocked, the ability to review new user posts should also be blocked. When reviewing, it is very frustrating to not be allowed to correct the bad formatting of code snippets, etc. that frequently show up in posts from new users.
