Congratulations!

I think I can answer your question. Wildoneshelper has contributed a lot to this wiki even before badges were introduced, therefore he have not earned some of them. I know it is bad that badges is not given retroactively. But that could perhaps be solved because Lefty have some badges that Wildones don't have, yet both have reached the requiements of said badges. Please don't take the last sentence for granted because I might be dead wrong.

Just to make an example, Wildoneshelper should, if the badges were present from the start, have numerous of "Colour Bomb" badges because I bet he has edited pages that much. Also, I believe some users have contributed to the wiki every day but still no one have the "Double Colour Bomb" badge which is earned when you have contributed 60 days in a row.

To sum it all up the leaderboard is pretty misleading not only because of the problem I mentioned above but also the fact that it doesn't take the number of edits in account. Let us remember though, edits does not mean everything. One user with 500 edits might have done more for the wiki than another with 5000.
