User position
editWe should have a column on the leaderboard that shows what position the user is in. 069952497aComments and complaintsStuff I've done 13:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable, I've added it to my TODO list. West.andrew.g (talk) 21:40, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
- Done -- And the change is effective immediately. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 04:32, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

- Can STiki use this?--Pratyya (Hello!) 11:34, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
- Let's discuss this on the main STiki talk page, where I have moved this thread. Thanks, West.andrew.g (talk) 13:41, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Please rename
editPlease rename this page. I'm not sure what a good rename would be, but please at least something more neutral than "leaderboard". As it stands, without a rename, this could become an mfd target, I think. - jc37 12:21, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- If you cannot make a contribution, do not find fault! It is a leader board and we have no problem with the terminology. "mfd" ... what on earth is that? As a retired dairy farmer I guess, "muck from dung"
— | Gareth Griffith-Jones | The Welsh Buzzard | — 19:16, 3 September 2013 (UTC)- I'm going to assume that MFD = "matters for deletion". Regardless, we've had this discussion on this talk page before. The leaderboard is rewarding participation via classifications, not revert actions. This happens plenty of other places on Wikipedia and sometimes in a more aggressive fashion, i.e., "WikiCup". It is a statistical ranking of individuals so I do not feel there is a more appropriate term, and regardless, my research supports the fact that a little bit of participatory competition is a net positive for the project.

- MfD would be Miscellany for Deletion. I don't understand how this would even go to MfD as the project page of a tool. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 09:42, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi West.andrew.g (with cc to Jc37). I think STiki is a good tool. At the top of the leaderboard you state: "STiki is not a competition" yet here you state "participatory competition is a net positive for the project". You cannot have it both ways. Statsboard might be a better name? As an aside, such tools should be used with caution and oversight. Cheers!

23:12, 20 March 2016 (UTC)- The "research" discussed above is distinct from STiki and its leaderboard; it is a reference to the WikiCup and gamesmanship initiatives I am familiar with in off-wiki contexts. This leads me to extrapolate that, if it were appropriate, I could enhance competitive aspects of STiki with net benefits to Wikipedia. That is not my intention. This is a page deep within the project space and I have no intention to change the name. As this thread itself demonstrates, no one has wanted to revive the matter for a couple of years. We aren't going to find a cure for edit-count-itis with a page move and redirection. I will always respect a broader consensus, though. West.andrew.g (talk) 15:45, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
