User blog comment:Tabuu5/2nd Annual FANDOM Awards! (Unofficial)/@comment-25024589-20190302000819

Here are my two cents:

As "rewarding" of a feeling as this endeavor may grant to the winning nominees, the main issue with posts such as these is that they are more than open to rigging and exclusivity. Users who have devoted more time to the system are more likely to be recognized, yes; the thing is, this is not always guaranteed. An individual may have spent years of their life building a wiki from the ground up, but if they don't have strong connections with individuals on Community Central and similar FANDOM Wikia hubs, the probability of them getting noticed is low. On the flipside, newer/less-involved individuals that do have ties might win over the popular vote, potentially leading to inferiority complexes in the long-timers.

I'm not saying you (or anyone else with similar ideas) can't do what you are proposing - I don't have such authority, nor do I really come here enough to care anymore - though proceeding with this likely will lead to more social rifts in the community. Just...keep that in mind.
