Top Contributors helps communities recognize the people making a visible difference and gives members an easy way to discover their work.
Discover Contributors
•
Featured contributors - The Rankings guide explains how the top three appear in larger cards with profile details, contribution statistics, and ranking context when available.
•
More people to meet - Everyone else appears in a compact list, keeping larger community rankings quick to scan.
•
Contributor profiles - Users can open contributor profiles from featured cards and avatars to learn more about the people behind the work.
•
Achievement highlights - Diplomas and linked top goals can add helpful context to a leading contributor's place in the ranking.
•
Smaller screens - Featured cards stack on mobile, keeping each contributor's available achievement directly beneath their profile details.
How Rankings Work
•
Broader contributions - Positions can reflect published posts, shared documents, document reactions, space discussions, and meetings. Available profile details and received Awards can contribute too.
•
Relevant scope - Members can see rankings for a whole space and for supported subspaces or activities.
•
Community context - Rankings highlight up to 50 contributors within each scope, rather than providing a platform-wide reputation score.
•
Ranking updates - New contributions may take time to affect the ranking; positions do not change immediately after every action.
•
Excluded activity - Direct messages and time online do not influence rankings.
Access And Page States
•
Easy entry points - When enabled, members can open Top Contributors from the Members menu or contributor sections on About and Expo pages.
•
Public discovery - Public spaces can share contributor pages that lead to public profiles and publicly available goals.
•
Private communities - Private-space rankings require membership or ownership of the space.
•
Clear page states - Loading placeholders give way to contributor cards or a separate No contributors yet message when no ranking data is available.
•
Retry a failed load - A loading failure shows Try again, so members can retry without leaving the page.
•
Correct community results - Switching spaces or supported areas loads the selected ranking without letting a slower previous request replace it.
