A barnstar system would be redundant with the achievement system, we could instead thank editors who do good work manually on their message walls. This also allows us to give them advice to do even better. I have occasionally used this template to thank editors (like if they went out of their way to help revert massive vandal attacks or helped add important pages to the wiki). Maybe we should start using it a bit more, or would it be too similar to a Barnstar?
