it takes generally a week to three weeks for new users to reach this count

Correction: it's one to three months (and usually towards the latter end). You only took a week to get to 250. Parazrael managed it in three weeks, but that was also exceptionally quick.

This makes a difference. For example, the two users who've posted here who aren't Wiki Contributors on Discord have yet to reach 200 edits; Paladinluke's been here for nearly two months now, while DigiDrew will have been here for three by this time next week.

As Jo said, it makes sense to treat this as a guideline (although, granted, that's not how it appears on the Discord project page). So we might not want a formal probationary period, but the "common sense" criterion sounds to me like 150-250 edits after 2-3 months is enough to get people accepted.

I'll note here that the previous informal criterion was time-based: "they have been present for at least a few days". This was evidently considered insufficient to determine whether they're going to become a long-term part of the community.
