I just wanted to ask if the admins are included in top contributors list, since I don't show up in the list for the wiki I'm an admin/bureaucrat of. I'm not saying that I'm pining for admins to be included in the top contributors list, I just wanted to make certain that that was intentional and not some sort of bug. -- Ah, judging from the comments below it appears to be a bug. Scratch that.

(I will stay out of the discussion objecting to the inability to disable rankings, since I have yet to discuss the new feature[s] with our other admin...and frankly our wiki is a tad small. However, I will gently point out that the negative feelings others have expressed over this feature are valid, and should be considered. We should have the right to decide what is needed and what is unwanted. At any rate, our wiki currently does not have achievements enabled, if that tells you anything).

On the topic of customization, I'd like to see the eventual ability to customize the page more (I know that you've said that the welcome message will be editable soon). The ability to pick and choose what order the items in the left side appear in, (maybe even what they are) for example. And -- if we can go even further, maybe the subitems. For instance, the top subitem in the Wanted Pages category is "Template:noneselected" with 28 referral links. We do not need this item listed for all the world to see, because we certainly don't need random users to do anything to them. It's kind of useless having it there.

Perhaps we can eventually customize how the page looks in general ? I think the left side could be made more compact; as other users have said the padding is a problem. Changing the background might be a nice touch, but that's a very minor thing.

I think the new feature has potential. While I do feel like the insights page at this stage is a little more useful, I am sure that most users on our wiki almost certainly do not visit the insights page and will probably make more use out of the community page instead. And so, I can only urge you to seriously parse the feedback you're being given at the moment.
