Hi guys!

I'm not sure how to contact the Devs here, maybe they read this here too, so let's sum up the "Problem".:

Our Wiki (EQ2) recently added these badges that you get for certain activities and which generate a "highscore" list. It's fun, I like it, but it really could use some tweaking with the awarded points.

For example the badge "Wiki Planner" that you get for each "250 articles added to categories" give 100 points. This is WAY TOO MUCH, because simply adding a few pieces of gear via a template that are already linked to 10-20 categories allows you to get this achievement in like 10 minutes, while a person who works hard on an article for days may get 2-3 edit counts.

Seriously, I know it doesn't really matter, and it is just for fun, but is a bit aggravating that hard work doesn't get rewarded, but some quick and easy adds get you skyrocketed in the highscore.

If any Devs are reading this, I suggest these changes:

Drop the award-badge for "Wiki Planner" to a 10 or 50 reward, or only give 1-5 points per edit of an article - no matter how many categories it links to.

Add an award for article-writers, e.g. a 10/50 points badge for each 5.000 characters typed/changed (not counting what already comes with templates!)
