Yep as of now it would just be a label on a user's profile. The idea is for us to highlight the great work many of the folks do here on Wikia. Its not meant to say they are any better than anyone else in their community, just to point out their great contributions and dedication to Wikia. This is just the start of the program, and it will grow and change over time.
