Wikipedia, English

increased engagement on the stats page, ideally micro-engagements to "like" contributions and stuff to encourage contributors by essentially saying "thanks for your hard work!"
How would your measurement idea help your community make better decisions? edit
After you are finished measuring or evaluating your Wikimedia project, how do you expect that information to be used to benefit the project?
gamification of contribution stats might increase number of contributors, which would improve the overall knowledge base of wikipedia
Do you think you can implement this idea? What support do you need? edit
Do you need people with specific skills to complete this idea? Are there any financial needs for this project? If you can’t implement this project, can you scale down your project so it is doable?
I can design the stuff and provide sketches and high fidelity designs so we can measure whether or not the dev community might be interested in helping to develop it
