UPE certainly borned as a funny game, no rules, out of the planned stuff (I agree and support the motion to keeping it like that). But it's been succesfull:
* stimulating newbies engagement, * motivating folks to improve wiki-skills, * "benchmarking" our babyes (User Pages) with other ones, * promoting communication among WEs. We should'nt see these important outputs just as a game. So this funny creature has impacted our community serious goals. Let's think on a perfect balance.
