Please do not count wiki creates unless you can count edits too. Adding wiki creates causes some issues: 1) It is easy to create useless pages for karma gobbling 2) It makes the creation of a new page more 'desirable' than fixing an old out of date page. Which in-turn disorganizes the wiki 3)It is too easy to just throw up information that is wrong/not enough and does not benefit the real troppers who updatre wiki pages.
Being a project admin myself, I find the real heroes are the people who fix the wiki, not the ones who create the page in the first place. Keeping a wiki up-to-date is hard and a group effort. I reccommend we dgive karma to editors also, or no one at all with respect to the wiki. Just my luriking 2 cents.
