User blog comment:Sarah Manley/Announcing Achievements - Edit your way to the top/@comment-3130832-20100803214856

Seems like it would really enhance activity throughout Wikia wikis. But I think it would cause a lot of spam and bad edits. On a wiki that I edit, we're testing out the 'Wiki Achievements' thing, and it has caused a lot of editing, and a lot of bad edits (one example: adding a lot of unneeded categories and pictures and then reverting them). Also, I'm not sure that other wikis have this, but the Call of Duty Wiki has a policy that states all editors are equal, and that interferes with the achievement system because it puts a 'rank' on a user.
