When people go straight on to the dashboard, they naturally look at the highest person in each tool and might even go congratulate them on their talk page. But although they have done well, there are the second and third placed people just a little behind the top person and are not getting that same congratulations. Maybe a system should be introduced to give them the thanks they should get too. I have seen many people through my time on wikiHow who seem annoyed about that. Just a suggestion! Please reply with your feedback!

I think that’s what the leaderboards are for ( http://www.wikihow.com/Special:Leaderboard
), I think showing a lot of stuff like that on the dashboard could really clutter it. Quality contributions are what are important, and of course the leaderboard is based on numbers only - not to say the top ranked people aren’t doing quality work, but trying to heavily gamify editing has historically been disastrous.

I’m not on desktop right now, but if I remember correctly, there’s an arrow next to the leader’s name that, when clicked, pulls the top 9 or so leaders, right? Rather than cluttering stats in that little space, you can just pull up the leaders with the black arrow.
