> For now we could go for a three step process:
> 
> 1. Initially, every wiki edit gets an edge from the content in question. This will incentivize making many tiny changes and be pretty easy to game; we’ll need to rely on something like the honor system to regulate it.
> 2. Afterwards, we can add a heuristic that the strength of the edge is based on # of lines changed in the wiki, or such. This would be harder to game since it’s more obvious if you make huge nonsense changes to a wiki, although it will still create bad incentives to churn with needless re-writes.
> 3. Afterwards, we can come up with a cleverer system for evaluating wiki edits that involves more review by humans-in-the-loop.

We’re still in [Trust Level 1](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/sourcecred-trust-levels/375) so that works. In the future we could set it up so that [Historians/Curators](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/cred-historians-and-curators/194) with high trust levels review wiki edits and flag or boost them as seems necessary.
