Hey Merrystar!

I was curious about a certain achievement badge that appears on all wikis: The Lucky Edit badge (which is given out every 1,000th edit). A few users and I have found out that it is really easy to hack the system due to the "Undo Revision" number.

http://candy-crush-saga.wikia.com/wiki/Level_33/Dreamworld?action=edit&undoafter=274996&undo=277000

For example, the last three digits are 000 on the hyperlink, so it was a lucky edit counter. So to get it, three people on my wiki (including me) save about 20 edits (on separate tabs) and use them all out to hack the lucky edit badge. However, I've been noticing that it is really distorting the leaderboards greatly because of all the lucky edits that the three of us has been getting. And now, actually no one else has been getting them because we keep hacking them. And if we don't hack them, some one else will to just move up the leaderboards. Is it possible that the staff hide the undo revision number so it can be a true lucky edit badge? Or is it possible to modify/delete the lucky edit badge from the list of badges? Just a curiosity.
