3primetime3, your reasons are subjective. First, who cares if the leaderboard should represent the users who contribute the most? As you have proven, the users who contribute the most do not rank high in the leaderboard, just because they edit and contribute in different areas. May I tell you, 3primetime3, that you will only get points from editing mainspace, further proving the leaderboard is just only showing those who contribute the most in mainspace only. This is undoubtedly true by just looking at the top 5 of the leaderboard.

Secondly, it's your problem who want to get more points. The greed inside you empowers you to do some nonsense edits. However, boosting points in the leaderboard is not effective, since we don't take much on the leaderboard as a reference. Remember, the number of edits is not directly proportional to your contribution to the wiki, and everyone knows who is the one who contribute the most. Even would I say Imamadmad is the most influential user in this wiki, and I will not feel sorry for her not being the top user in the leaderboard.

Thirdly, badges empower one to edit in this wiki. This is proven from the badge about consecutive day editing. A lot of people long for the badge because the difficulty is very high. Other than that, envy will occur since you want to be as high as the top users. This also empowers you to edit more in order to achieve the score. Unfortunately, if this envy or competition rots, like vandalism in order to get points, I might retract my statement.
