Un traqueur de page de discussions, aussi connu sous le nom de WikiJaguar, est un individu qui garde un oeil sur une ou plusieurs page de discussions d'utilisateurs (souvent via la liste de suivi) et qui répond ou ajoute des informations aux sujets dans lesquels il n'est pas directement impliqué.

Talk page stalkers often make very constructive commentary, and should not be confused with Wikihounders. On the other hand, neither are they to be confused with people who have a life. While it is best to treat them politely, and even with some safe measure of kindness, they should be watched carefully for other symptoms of Wikipediholism. If you believe your TPS may be experiencing other symptoms of this condition, you may wish to suggest diplomatically the Wikipatch or, for advanced cases, a visit to the Wikipediholic clinic.

Popular targets of talk page stalkers include administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, high-profile or highly active users, and other types of megalomaniacs. Talk page stalkers have even been known to stalk each other! Contrary to popular belief, talk page stalkers might not all be scheming villains – rather, they generally contribute with some helpful piece of advice especially when the particular user the message was left for is not immediately available. Talk page stalkers have also been known to make minor tweaks to the talk pages they stalk; for example, replacing plain text archive listings with archive boxes. One can see just how stalked a particular person is by looking at their page information.

It is considered polite to announce one's intention to stalk another's talk page, perhaps through some creative means, or an amiably worded self-invitation to the talk page's owner using as many weasel words as you can manage.

Surprise your stalkers[modifier | modifier le code]

The first obligation of a host is to not always offer the same thing. Be often polite, gracious, and soothing; but do not constantly offer such fare. Remember that unrelieved politeness may carry an implicit reproach. If a guest feels that they have been told "Look at me being incredibly polite; can you do this"?, they are unlikely to return. Allow them instead to experience an agreeable sense of superiority by telling them to get lost.
