I agree with this. I am an administrator on the Minecraft: Pocket Edition Wiki, and we have been struggling to keep the wiki's badge-farming on a low rate. We do appreciate the addition of the Community Feature, but I don't like how it rates users simply on the basis of the edits they make.

Sure, this may encourage editing, but it will mostly encourage farming, really. Most users who truly believe in the spirit of Wikia would edit no matter what, they do not need an extra incentive. This will only attract more people to edit-farming to top the leaderboard.

Also, I don't know if you considered this, but "fame" is quite a high reward, especially on large communities. Who wouldn't like to top a list and be there for a whole week where everyone can see? Almost everyone. I still think there should be an option to disable this, as I can foresee the farming issue getting worse over the next few days.

I realize you are still testing this feature, so I respect that you may not remove it immediately, but please look into it in the future.

Thanks,
