This is a fairly minor issue but I'd appreciate people's opinions on it...on the "promote" tool that shows your wiki on the mix-it-up section of the homepage, it shows "top contributors" for every wiki. It started showing bots in amongst these, which we complained about because by their nature they have a lot of edits but aren't really "contributors" as such. Wikia said they fixed this in a technical update, but what they failed to mention was that bots with the sysop flag still showed up, and this was intended functionality. My question to the wiki-savvy is: is it me or does this decision make no sense? Bots are often given the sysop flag as a matter of course, and it doesn't make them contributors anymore than other bots. Do people agree/disagree?
