Feature Request - Training Rankings

There are already rankings for every chess variant on lichess. I would love to see rankings for lichess (tactics) Training as well. It would be really interesting to see a list of the highest rated lichess players in Training and a Training rating distribution graph to see what percentile you are. And it would be awesome to have stats on how many problems you have solved, what % you got right, etc.
Doesn't really make sense doing this considering how artificial the puzzle ratings are anyways. If someone wanted to they could easily cheat simply by inspecting the page. The whole system would need a re-haul for something that doesn't really make much sense. The puzzle rating is really just an indicator for the system to decide the next puzzle.
It would probably only encourage some people to solve this puzzles with assistance if there would be a ranking. Thus resulting in falsified ratings of the puzzles itself which then makes it harder to get puzzles suited to your skills.
Some interesting points from you guys. I *think* that this sort of cheating would be *hopefully* a very small percent of Training users so I would think it wouldn't affect the ratings too much, but I could be wrong. I just like the stats chess.com provides for its Tactics Trainer and I would love to see something similar
actually it's a very good feature to be added, i for one would like to know the tactical themes at which i am good at, and specify those themes only for the training, and keep climbing up the ladder, but it's true, cheaters will be there, but i guess you don't need to display a global ranking of the tactic front, just addition of themes would be lovely
At the very least, show personal progress in the tactics training for 1m, 1yr, all, etc instead of just the previous ~10 games.
Would this be hard to code up?
I would be interested to see top 10 puzzles.
IMHO a ranking system across all features of the site would be useful for measuring how much players are learning.
I agree, I'd like to see at least your personal puzzle progression on the stats page with other rating progressions. I think adding the puzzle ranking to the overall distribution makes sense even in lieu of 'cheating' . If it's already being reported in numeric format on your profile page, I don't see much difference in including the distribution of that statistic as well.
