Well, I'll suggest (again) some alternatives to this.

We can create a Member of the Month award, and award it to deserving users. They can get a template placed on their userpage, and even receive a masthead that says MOTM.

We can start an initiative to use positive reinforcement to help other users who are emerging as editors to get into the swing of things while receiving positive, constructive feedback. This feedback would practically help those users to become great assets to the Wiki, and once that occurs, they will receive the praise they deserve for their work.

Weekly updates can be brought back, and in them we can start doing user shoutouts again. I obviously never received one, but I would like to see if this would help users feel better appreciated, or to receive feedback from those who were around when I did them to see if it made them feel appreciated for their work.

These are just a few of the ideas I have which I feel would be a far better alternative to this.
