Wikichievements are one of the primary ways for editors to give each other a pat on the back and a token of appreciation for their hard work. They are inspired by Wikipedia's Barnstars, which are similarly given to editors by other editors for their dedication to Wikipedia; be it for a single edit (full-page re-write), informative image upload, or for their on-going effort in improving Wikipedia as a whole.
Wikichievements can be granted by any editor to another editor, depending on the type of Wikichievement; some are reserved by moderators and admins for administration-specific tasks, whilst the vast majority can be given to any user regardless of their number of edits, the age of their account, etc., providing the person awarding the Wikichievement finds that the recipient lives up to the criteria defined in the description of the Wikichievement.
Contents
Awarding a Wikichievement
Awarding a Wikichievement is incredibly simple. Put the following code on the talk page belonging to the user you wish to award a Wikichievement:
{{Award Wikichievement | wikichievement = Name of Wikichievement. | from = Your wiki username. | reason = Reason for awarding Wikichievement. }}
The wikichievement parameter requires the lower-case name without punctuation at the end (such as a question mark) of the Wikichievement you're trying to award; see here for all available options.
All three parameters are mandatory.
Considerations
Receiving or awarding a Wikichievement shouldn't be considered something you do every day; they are reserved exclusively for the people who go that extra step to make the wiki a more enjoyable place. Please consider this before awarding a Wikichievement.
Displaying Wikichievements on your user page
Displaying Wikichievements on your user page require two different templates; namely {{Wikichievement table}}
and {{Display Wikichievement}}
. Documentation for those two templates can be found on their respective pages.
Creating a Wikichievement
Creating a Wikichievement is not simply a matter of modifying a template; in technical terms it is, but the Team Fortress Wiki community has a strong vote in what counts as a valuable contribution. As mentioned previously, the defined criteria are only guidelines as it is up to the awarder to determine whether a person has lived up to the criteria or not. That said, meaningless Wikichievements like "You've made your first edit!", "You've uploaded an arbitrary image", etc. should be discouraged versus if a person creates a highly useful infographic – which increases the quality of an article tenfold – or routinely patrols the Recent changes list to edit minor errors or provides a number of bot filters to overall increase the quality of the wiki.
To suggest a new Wikichievement, go to Team Fortress Wiki talk:Wikichievements. Create a new section prefixed with [SUGGESTION] and detail your plans below.

Tturbo | March 8th, 2011 | Some people tend to think that they can bend the rules of the Wiki system to obtain a Wiki Cap easily without giving the time and the work necessary to being valuable. This Wikichievement is awarded to people that dedicate some of their time to cleaning after those other people, because cleaning requires generally a lot of time. | ||

Epic Eric | August 23rd, 2011 | It's natural that, with the constant updates and new players playing Team Fortress 2, new members may arrive on the Wiki. Most of them can get lost and easily give up if they have trouble with the Wiki code, Trivia guidelines, and so. The most helpful and community-minded members, however, will stop by their talk pages and welcome them to the official Team Fortress 2 Wiki, show them tasks they can do, and introduce them to the other members, allowing that several new contributors aid the wiki. | ||
