Karma is great for Wikidot-wide experts but I would love to see something that rewards individual wiki contributors. This would help wikis by generating more wiki content and help the individual members by highlighting his/her service and expertise.
Personally, I would love a module that rewarded members with titles or ranks.
Moreover, this module would highlight the contributor's websites and a short profile - so it drives traffic back to their sites and/or shows their expertise. The higher the rank, the more exposure for a member's website and/or expertise.
For example:
Gold-Level
1. John Smith, 990 edits, Profile - Online Author, website - http://??????
2. Jane Smith, 899 edits, Profile - College Professor, website - http://??????
Silver-Level
3. Jack Smith, 450 edits, Profile - Biologist, website - http://???

I am not a software engineer so I might be totally off with this statement… However, it shouldn't be too difficult to create a simple module that highlights individual wiki members that do a lot of edits and their profiles.
Just take the existing members module and add a sort by number of edits attribute and offer a link to each member's profile.
This would "reward" frequent contributors as they would be listed at the top of this simple module and it would allow visitors to visit their profile (and thus active contributors would benefit from potential visitors to their websites, visitors seeking their professional services, etc.). This would be more helpful to individual wikis (and generate more individual wiki content) than the current karma system that rewards wikidot-wide edits & services.

if you clik on "Rate (+8)" and than on "look who rated this page" -you will see some old admins and one of the wikidot team has rated it up…
This does not help at the moment, but gives hope for the future..

Thanks Helmut! Didn't realize you could see the "value" of the rater. :)
Hope this wish gets done someday as it would help individual wikis and thus help the overall wikidot corporation. However, I realize that wikidot has limited resources and bigger fish to fry at the moment (i.e. mobile).

And also several hundred other open wishes :) But fortunately they don't try to implement them in order of submission.
