I made this one because it would be good for the userbox makers since theres no achievement for making these and alot of the users (including myself) likes to sprite up their userpages.

I made this one to test a series based on grouping. As in making an article criticized by 2 groups. The first group liking/praising the article, and the second group... eh, not so much. If you don't understand, then basically imagine making an article about a recent TF2 edition. 30 people so far view the article. 15 of them like it and 15 of them don't like it. But more people will probably dislike this Wikichievement than like it :P [[User:The Great Irish Warload|The Great Irish Warload]] 00:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

The thing about this little wikichievement must be on english to make it a competition between the users who makes articles to the TF Wiki. Its a good idea i thought, but i need your meanings and to achieve this it must be either a new item or map etc.... or just what the description says.

Retire of Wikichievement

I think the "Lagg Pleaser" Wikichievement should be retired, considering said User does not edit anymore and has even been blocked by his own request. Maybe a new section for "retired wikichievements" should be made so it can still be seen somewhere.

It should be fine to retire the Wikiachievement, but we won't be substituting it with another user's name or anything else.
If you have ideas for new Wikiachievements, please open a new discussion similar to the ones above. — Tark 16:06, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikicheivment milestones

The milestone will be earned if the user unlocks a certain number of Wikichievments. Good idea?

Seeing as the Wikichievements are not automated, I don't think these would be a very good idea. There's not much involved in milestones either, in-game they're associated with an item drop, but on the Wiki at most it would be a glorified counter.
