How about no. [2]

Here's why: NoBanana wrote: It was removed, and the badge list lingered for a few months later, still causing issues until it was eventually removed. Actually it didn't. One post on the forum was not a big deal. However in this day and age, we have a greater administration force, as well as a need for edit incentive. What better time to re-implement this idea? The "greater administrative force" is not in the mood to revert nonconstructive edits every day. We have better things to do. It's customizable, we can add and remove achievements at will, and the leaderboard will be a great new way of encouraging editors off the forums (of the roughly 1000 points, less than 100 are given out through forums and blogs). I'll believe that when I see those who suggest/vote on the wiki editing-focused suggestions actually use use what they voted for. We can even make a category called "Pages requiring attention" and give out bonus points to anyone who edits those pages. This is called the Community Projects (which people said they would use, but they don't so I don't know why we have it), Urgent Article Stubs, and Housekeeping. As for null edits and absolutely tiny edits with no point, that's already covered in the Baby-Sitting Policy, so the appropriate scarfion punishment will be applied (a bajillion year block or something). If you plan to do something that requires admin approval and effort, I would suggest to not put a snarky comment targeted at them.
