@Monchoman45 Unfortunately, I too have had experiences with users abusing the achievement system and making “useless” edits for points. From my experience, the admins sat down with the user and explained to the main offender why cheating the system was ruining the wiki for everyone else. We went on to give that user a temporary ban in order to enforce that their behavior was frowned upon by the rest of the community. They returned to edit a week later, and have since been one of our top contributors.
