Wikichievement for contributors to TFC articles

I have no ideas for pictures, names or descriptions now, but it makes sense that we provide an incentive for people to work on TFC articles. ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 01:48, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Something like: "The Classy-c Editor : Edit and Update the Team Fortress Classic part of the Wiki" Tturbo _(T/C) 16:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Back to the Gold Source age Keeping editing and updating the Team Fortress Classic section of the Wiki.

Lemme blow some life in to this achievement. TheNobleScout 01:14, 9 January 2012 (PST)

Haxtinguisher

The Haxtinguisher For careful watching and removing hax pages (such as autotranslated pages).

With the last incident of someone having used Google Translate, I notice how hard it was to track down the pages and delete them... So an idea for rewarding this work. Tturbo _(T/C) 16:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I like dis new chievement. — Wind 00:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Template Blacksmith

Template Blacksmith For making many approvable, good and funny userboxes for the TF Wiki.

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 have another one in mind, but I dont wanna bring it up before you guys are agreed to this Wikichievement. The Noble Scout _{R9t4 20:22, 25 February 2011 (UTC)}

The Userboxes are a very minor part of a purely aesthetic part of the Wiki. They are hardly worth a Wikichievement (Even though I would get about four of this one right now for my userboxes) -- Firestorm 02:21, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Remember Firestorm that i said userboxes. Which mean no one knows how many userboxes it needs to be, so it means that it must be alot of them. The Noble Scout 17:30, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

These sort of wikichievements shouldn't be encouraged. Creating tons of userboxes doesn't benefit or improve the actual wiki in any way. It's nice to decorate your userpage with them, but we'd much rather spend your time contributing to the wiki instead of creating countless arbitrary userboxes. Sorry :( —Moussekateer·talk 17:37, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, then i'll make a better suggestion later since this one was abit of a failure :S The Noble Scout 18:19, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Painful Karma

Painful Karma Create an article that some will like & some will dislike.

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 The Great Irish Warload 00:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

What is this rewarding? Making an article that splits the community or that isn't worth editing? Not a good Wikichievement at all. -- Firestorm 02:21, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

So I guess I was right about this receiving more hate then like :/ The Great Irish Warload 03:14, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Too easy to get, just making one like Benjamuffin did with Demopan and you are done. The Noble Scout 17:25, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Hot Contribution

Hot Contribution Create a article on a new released item before any other user does it.

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. The Noble Scout 13:42, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

There's already the Frontier Notice Wikichievement that does that if I remember the description correctly. Tturbo _(T/C) 15:07, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, true... The Noble Scout _(T/C) 21:12, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

This would just encourage users to spam and make a useless page. The Wikichievements should not generally have solid requirements or it will emphasize spamming and not being userful. Also, to both of you, please reduce the size of your signatures, there's no reason for them to take up so much room -- Firestorm 21:37, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Indirect Helper

Indirect Helper Help other users to improve the Team Fortress Wiki with constant tips and coordination.

For those who'd rather help other users and teach them how they can contribute positively to the Wiki. The title/text may not be clear, so those can be modified later.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 00:06, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I Like this wikichievement, something that Recruiter doesn't count. But another name would make it even more awesome. Tturbo _(T/C) 01:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd guess so. I had no ideas at the moment. Name suggestions are welcomed!  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 21:19, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Generous Giver

Generous Giver For giving out multiple weapons, hats, tools, or even games, to members of the Wiki who are in need of them.

I'm not sure about the description. But this could be useful for those who'd like to give out things. GeminiViRiS Talk · Contribs 23:13, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't see how this is related with the Wiki.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 23:27, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Me too, there are some wiki users that really deserve it  –  Ohyeahcrucz[T][C] 02:17, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree with EpicEric. If there were achievements for general purposes, this would be worthy. Alas, these are wikiachievements, and strictly wiki related. --Nihilus0(contribs) 02:19, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 Oppose I see no purpose in this. It's not contributing to the Wiki to give away stuff -- Firestorm 02:26, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 Nope Why doing that, it will be very generous by others to get and give stuff, but how can you relate Wiki workers to this one, GeminiViRiS? The Noble Scout _(T/C) 08:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, yes, silly me for not making an achievement not relating to the Wiki. But I thought I'd throw an idea out here for the community of the Wiki. See, in the IRC chat, some folks are clamoring that they don't have "X" game for pack "Y". Whether they're cheap or can't afford it, it's always nice to give rather than receive. —GeminiViRiS Talk · Contribs

Question

How do you determine who deserved achievement, and who's not?--  _{( |)} 07:41, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Special Field Editer

Special Field Editer Been active in one special section in the Wiki.

Well, since ive failed in my other Wikichievement stuff, maybe i should contribute this one; the point in this was to be to the editors who works in a spesific section all the time. Take me for example. Im working mostly on the Hats section on the Norwegian Wiki Part. Its just an idea and i dont think it would be any good but at leaset worth a shot.

Some wikichievements I came up with

The Trivia Remover For those who spent there time taking out bad and pointless trivia.

I know it's a bad name for it but I'm horrible at naming things.

Anyway I've seen people removing those pointless trivia in the recent log all the time so I made this. If that isn't good I made another one.

Article Dominatior For those who spent there time cleaning up article making it smooth to read.

Again bad with the naming but award to those who cleaned up article making it easy to read. Violencejr123 21:52, 2 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support I like them, but do you think we could somehow combine the two? To me, they're both about cleaning up the pages, just more specific. 21:55, 2 August 2011 (PDT)

Hmm I will see. Violencejr123 21:58, 2 August 2011 (PDT)

Article Dominatior For those who spent there time cleaning up articles to the point were it's smooth and easy to read.

Well I was thinking of just keeping this one since taking out trivia is cleaning up an article like you said. Violencejr123 08:41, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

 Still Support I like it. I just have one last suggestion, maybe the use scout achievement "Round tripper" icon? 15:31, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

Done. Violencejr123 15:36, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

My wiki achievement

It Ain't Rocket Science

It Ain't Rocket Science Walk someone through a tutorial.

Reword description if you want. I basically want this to be for those who end up providing more help on a topic then the tutorial that was made for that area. e.g. i found the painted hat variants tutorial a little confusing, another user who has done it before, goes through and helps step by step with a successful result. - Lexar - talk 03:24, 18 August 2011 (PDT)

Format

Videographer Create a video for the Weapon Demonstration project which gets added to the official YouTube channel.

I might be nitpicking here, but can the colour of the link be changed? It's not very easy to read so looks a bit tacky. There's also a full-stop missing! How could dis happen?

» Cooper Kid (blether·contreebs) 02:15, 30 August 2011 (PDT)

I think that if the link was the same green color as the Wikichievement title, it'd look pretty nice. Just my two cents. Sven 08:55, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

NO! DONT DO IT!

Don't you readd! Tell on a user who has been recently readding existing sound files, pictures etc.

This was inspired by those users who have been adding files that currently exists. Im not going to metion names. The Noble Scout _(T/C) 08:14, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

Change the title to "Don't" instead of "Dont" and then we'll talk. Sven 08:57, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

Done :D The Noble Scout _(T/C) 09:04, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

 :D Good, now let's talk about it. I like the basic idea, but it seems (at least to me) that it could be better somehow. No idea HOW, but still. I like the idea and hope you get some more feedback/support for this soon(ish). Sven 09:07, 11 September 2011 (PDT)

New Wikichievements?

Wiki Crime and Punishment Block someone for constantly screwing up the Wiki.

Classic Editing Make a quality edit on a Team Fortress Classic page.

Meet the Fraud Lie on your User page and claim to have an item in your backpack which you don't.

Happy Birthday Contribute to the Happy Birthday Wiki community event.

We Can Fix It In Post Upload a new Weapon Demonstration within 24 hours of it needing to be redone.

Ready For Duty Practice Wiki editing by making a damn-fine User page.

Relentless Editing Make over 20 edits in 1 hour.

-- ScoutKast 01:12, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

I dislike Ready for Duty. We already have a good one for that, known as Show me Your War Face! I don't think that blocking someone is good either, but the rest sound good. Fyahweather 13:29, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

Why, Thank You! Your right though, "Show Me Your War Face" is pretty much the same. -- ScoutKast 14:23, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

Out of all of these, "We can fix it in post" is really the only achievement worth implementing. The others are either far too simple (Classic Editing) or they promote something we don't want (Wiki crime and punishment). -- Firestorm 15:58, 23 September 2011 (PDT)

Coool. Making a new Wikichievement is my new goal now, i'll keep thinking of some more. I'll try to avoid things that are too easy or promote something bad. -- ScoutKast 04:21, 24 September 2011 (PDT)

I think we could come up with a better name than "We Can Fix It In Post" though. -- ScoutKast 00:44, 26 September 2011 (PDT)

Lights, Camera, Action! Upload a new Weapon Demonstration within one day of it needing to be redone.

-- ScoutKast 00:39, 27 September 2011 (PDT)

My agreements: 1st one:  Mods and Admins takes care of this.

2nd one:  TFC is standard stuff, no need to edit it unless someone has screwed up.

3rd one:  TF2Items is sure a usefull place to check peoples BP's

4th:  Neutral

5th:  No need to push the users who makes these Demonstrations

6th:  Already exsist XD

7th:  Just make a bunch of edits and upload them and there you got it...No need

8th:  These demonstrations are viewed before they are uploaded by the Wiki's Youtube Channel.

Value of Teamwork

Master Plan Invite other users to improve a single article as a team and do a great job.

Something like that? :D Limie Pie 06:30, 30 September 2011 (PDT)

The first one seems abit unachieveable because you got to redo a HUUUUUGE article. From my point of view, it's not a wikichievement, but a goal. The second one on the other hand is a co-op achievement...Look around! We do this everyday! You should go and give every user this wikichevement then XD TheNobleScout 00:29, 24 October 2011 (PDT)

A parallel to an existing one

suggestion - template related achievement

Just something to say "hey, thanks for the help with the really difficult templates, without your help i would have been stuck". Many times i have been making templates but there has been one bit that has tripped me up which someone just manages to pull the solution out of thin air and it works perfectly. would be nice to show gratitude for something so significant especially when its help with highly used templates. Sure helping hand might work but i want something more specific perhaps.

just idea - Lexar - talk 10:25, 14 June 2014 (PDT)

Practical Problems

The Practical Problems For fixing template content not only for the English pages, but for the rest of the languages as well.

For fixing or adding template stuff like: Kill-icons, availability for the item, adding contributors to the item/comic and others, for all languages currently available on that page... These stuff can be added into pages without knowing the language, as the proper translations for them are in the dictionary. ▪ - 19:56, 8 September 2014 (PDT)

I saw the "It's those Little Things" wikiachievement, which is about little things, but the information is about puncture and organization/consistency on pages. So I wasn't really sure and I decided to suggest this new wikiachievement. ▪ - 19:59, 8 September 2014 (PDT)

Time for achievements!

Ok, i have nothing to do totally, so I'll just leave it here.

Credit to Team

Credit to Team Collaborate with other users on a project.

This sort of idea has been tossed around before, as something like the "Master Plan" Wikichievement above; but I think this would work on a larger scale than that. Rather than focusing on a single article, this Wikichievement would be awarded to users who collaborate together on a project which benefits several pages. In addition, I feel this would be a slightly more inclusive Wikichievement than what Master Plan was suggested as, because that specifically mentions "inviting" users to work with you, while this would award everybody involved in a collaboration, who all most likely equally deserve a share. -ThatHatGuy (talk) 23:40, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

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.
