I actually have a great example of how edit counts can be misleading. On the wiki I currently admin, we have this template. One user (made an admin before me despite joining 6 months later) decided that each time a new card was released, he would make micro edits. One edit to create the page, one edit to add an empty infobox, one edit for each parameter specified, one edit for each category added, etc. The point being that he get 20+ edits out of what the rest of use would do in 1 to 3 edits. So yeah, another example of why quality, not quantity, should matter.
