I think the entire achievement system needs to be disabled. I have said it many times and I will say it again, all achievements do is encourage bad editing. People edit for the achievement rather than to actually help. If you really need to reward people for editing, a simple edit count is enough. Instead of saying you have the most points on a wiki, you can say you have the most edits, which is much more meaningful. If achievements are kept, editing becomes about getting achievements rather than trying to improve the site.
