::#"''I see no reason to dilute these edits into one stream if there's little overhead from creating new pages.''" It's to prevent several pages that ''serve no purpose to the wiki other than personal records''. If it's just a personal collection of project lists, your main userpage is enough. | ::#"''I see no reason to dilute these edits into one stream if there's little overhead from creating new pages.''"

:::"''that would mean every previous revision of everyone's userpage should be deleted''" You are allowed to have a userpage so editors, and sometimes readers, can get to know you better. But the excessiveness of user subpages that could very easily just be included on your main userpage is just largely, and I know I've used this a lot recently, unnecessary. The main reason is that userspace edits are supposed to come ''second'' to mainspace edits. Having your personal lists and information on one page can help reduce the number of edits you make to your userspace; having them each on separate pages would increase those edits. So, yeah, it would be a maintenance reason, to keep edits of userspace pages to a minimum. [[Special:Editcount/The Retro Gamer|Something you may want to work on, btw]]. | |||
:::"''what's the difference between page revisions and new pages?''" Not much. Page revisions are just the way for editors to look through the page history to find a specific point of when information was added. Yes, having subjects be separate into their own pages would make finding these points easier, but at the same time more difficult, as the informations would be split apart. Editing by section is much easier to keep track of. A new page is pretty much just that, a new page. Of course, I don't see a reason for anyone other than yourself to look through the history of your userpage. | |||
