To clarify, when I said "wiki", I meant the mainspace. I was being lazy, of course the wiki is more than that.

I should have been a bit clearer by what I meant by the wiki being Atv, Shock etc... By that I mean they are factually the only people who really edit. I was not insinuating that they should be an elite clique of wiki dictators. You say that you want to "give the current crowd some way to be noticed more for what they do". The names I listed are the only crowd who do anything in terms of editing. Yes, I am aware that there is a larger community. Chat and the forums are fantastic. However, other than those names, they are not editing parts of the community. To the wiki, they are very important. To this thread, they are not. As you have said, this initiative is meant to recognise editors.

I actually think the wiki is in a very good place (and I use the term in its proper sense this time, ie chat, forums, mainspace). Chat is friendly and run spectacularly well. Forums are alive and monitered fantastically. The mainspace also is constantly being improved and lots of new content is added for not just ESO, but Daggerfall and Morrowind. However, this is being done almost entirely on the backs of the editors I listed. There isn't a wider community to give any awards to in terms of editing. Indeed, do we even need new editors? By the very fact that in reality this Wiki is more than those I listed, we should not have a problem with the number of people editing. There are enough of us already here in the "community".

So I apologise for being lazy in my terminology; that was for effect. I hope this is more effectively communicated.
