That's just me, though. As for the rest I don't have much to say because the wikis I moderate on don't use discussions (yet). The feedback from the Community Page is one reason why we decided to make this only visible to moderators and admins for now. Some of the moderators on active Discussions communities have noted (on this thread and elsewhere) that they think this is the right choice, to avoid users making posts for the sole purpose of getting to the top of the list. We would very much like to hear more details from those who would like to see the stats made fully public. How would this help your community and motivate good contribution? Which stats are the most beneficial to have public?
