To see a WikiBouncer, you basically see an editor that reprimands another editor for the reasons of lack of civility, lack of etiquette, or because that editor is mean or unreasonable to another editor (e.g. saying an editor is causing problems, when in fact that editor has been 100% constructive and productive).

Basically, WikiBouncers dislike WikiVampires, and appreciate WikiOtters. They also have a strong dislike for trolls, and like WikiGnomes. And they also respect WikiPuppies, trying to encourage them into building an encyclopedia. WikiBouncers have a total respect for be bold (and ignore all rules).

Another aspect of WikiBouncers is that they don't start disputes but instead focus on dispute resolution. This means that WikiBouncers generally, like to defuse, and don't like to inflame.

WikiBouncers also prefer to keep WikiDrama to a minimum.

WikiBouncers tend to guide new users or users that have troubles with policies and guidelines on the right track, and try to help them do most things right. WikiBouncers are known as the "guardians of new or inexperienced users". WikiBouncers also may have traits of a WikiClaus, as they may praise, show appreciation to, or give positive feedback to users that haven't yet earned praise, appreciation or positive feedback already from other established editors.
