I don’t normally comment on these things but I feel like having my opinion ignored.

I can’t really describe why, but this seems unfair to some and perhaps a little unsafe. It seems unfair because there seems like there’d be a high chance for the same person to edit the most in a month, multiple months in a row. I also feel like it might bring in some competition that isn’t really needed and might harm someone/something eventually. People can also cheat to get the most edits (just adding a space and getting rid of it) as long as they don’t get caught by the admins of the wiki.

Additionally, I feel like it’s unsafe because it sounds like you’re sending the “winner” a gift in the mail? That seems a bit sketchy and a bit unsafe; there’s at least one person who can track it and find out who’s who.

Thank you for reading, if you read at all. I appreciate you improving FANDOM, but I’m not sure that competition - even if it’s friendly and for the most edits - is the best way to keep contributors coming in and keep them editing. Maybe it’s just me; maybe it isn’t. Once again, thank you for reading this if you’ve read it at all.
