Personally I'm still against turning the feature off, as I've stated an reasoned previously.

1. Just because CC considers something obsolete or outdated doesn't mean that is an opinion widely held by actual editors. They recently decided to deprecate a tab feature that has caused no end of issues for a wiki my friends work on, and they've tried introducing new features that haven't gone over well with... anyone really; so CC's opinion is a bit questionable as they do not have a great track record in this regard.

2. If this wiki gets transferred to the platform that no longer supports the feature then I'll accept that since it is out of my control; but since that's not applicable for the time being I don't see the harm in leaving it alone for the time being.

3. Frankly I don't see any correlation between a wikis age and whether editors find enjoyment in achievements: plenty of editors have begun editing many years into a wikis existence and stuck around because they find the achievements motivating and a fun bit of competition (myself included). New editors are generally instead correlated with new content being released for the series the wiki is about, as we saw when DttF was released, and interest wanes once the new season/etc. has concluded.

4 & 5. I'm not sure exactly how you think analytics gives admins and bureaucrats an advantage? The information provided by that feature has no bearing or influence on how I (and, I would assume, others in similar positions) edit, to be honest I never even check the stats because they don't interest me. I fail to see how geographical and technical info about other editors affects the editing and achievements of others.

In conclusion: considering we're quite frankly the only two editors here with any kind of regularity and it isn't causing any harm I don't see a need to turn off a feature that can still serve as a source of motivation, both for us as well as any new potential editors who join.
