It's probably better for Wikipedia's quality if editors remain unsung, rather than it being status-conferring.

This is a very misleading narrative. Wikipedia is now a popularity contest and subject to commercial pressures. As Larry Sanger (co-founder of wikipedia) noted:

"Wikipedia lacks the habit or tradition of respect for expertise. As a community, far from being elitist ..., it is anti-elitist (which, in this context, means that expertise is not accorded any special respect, and snubs and disrespect of expertise is tolerated)."

Compare it with scholarpedia which is expert edited and of a much higher quality (although in a much narrower domain).
