Well, hm. Yes. Correct me if I am wrong - I do believe that the placement is primarily based on your editcount on the wiki, however there is an extremely weird glitch regarding editcount, where if you promote a user on a wiki when they have zero (or close to zero) edits, their editcount will skyrocket, which gives that impression.

Check out c:nachel:Special:ListUsers/sysop. I can guarantee I didn't edit that wiki ten thousand times. And yet, because I was promoted when I had zero edits, it glitch boosted my editcount, which placed the wiki on my favorite wikis list (now removed).
