Basically how the system works, you make an edit it will accumulate. Even one edit is worth points. Then it goes up to 10 edits equal another 10-20 points. 50 edits, 100, 200 up to 500. Making a blog earn a point, commenting on other people's profile. There are three types, bronze (worth 10) silver (worth 50) and gold (worth 100)... I also noticed someone voted no... if you voted yes or no, please also leave a comment saying why. So that I can accurately determine if we should add this feature into the wiki. Also Sonicboom you can add <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> so it will display your signature without you typing it. <big>'''[[User:Zeypher|<font color="Red">Zey</font>]]<sup>[[User Talk: Zeypher|<font color="Silver">pher</font>]]</sup>'''</big> 17:56, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

{{SC|text=I voted no. A similar discussion can be found [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Wikia_now_has_achievements&t=20100814020630 here], but I might as well post my opinion here. <br>I think Achievements are a good idea, but bad in practice. For example, think about <s>Sir Admin</s> Zey here. He has 5,000 edits (if I'm correcT), and if the Ach.s start, he might as well have zero. That's right, '''''Achievements do not count toward previous edits'''''. Are you telling me you're going to edit 5,000 times just for a little internet medal?

Secondly, it encourages editing for the wrong reasons. I edit for the happiness, satisfaction, and feeling of warmth, knowing I contributed to a growing bee-hive of information. I also edit to pass the time. I don't edit for the glory, or to be praised. That is the '''wrong''' reason to edit.

Thats true, and a strong point, but maybe its because I've never met a person that into X-box, but at the end of the day, are there that many people like that?  And as you said its just a stupid medal, I'm sure that Zeypher isn't gonna stop being a great Admin, just cause his 1,400 something edits don't count towards this medal.  But its true that there are people like that.  So why don't we make it so that it has to be reviewed before it can go towards a medal?  The points system will be a good way to make people do some research.  But hey, I'm new, so its up to the guys who've know how the system works.  [[User:Sonicboom112|Sonicboom112]] 00:01, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
{{SC|time=00:55, August 15, 2010 (UTC)|text=Yeah, I know the wiki won't be flooded with people like that. I'm just sayin, it's a possibility. Zey won't ''ever'' stop being a good admin :D}}
{{ZeypherTalk|time=15:44, August 15, 2010 (UTC)|text=Aww, you guys are so kind. :D But I do agree some people might only edit just to get medals. I see alot of good people here who edit for the good of the wiki. And if someone is editing for the medal only with pointless entries we could easily block them and all there achievement go down the drain. And I personally don't care if all my edit point are not counted into an achievement. It's still up for grabs.... keep the comments and voting coming!}}.
{{ZeypherTalk|time=09:47, August 19, 2010 (UTC)|text=So far this wiki is not interesting in having the option. I would like to, but I don't see a lot of support in the idea. So far it is a no. Add in your vote and comments here!}}

{{ZeypherTalk|time=14:52, September 10, 2010 (UTC)|text=Alright, I've tested this achievement leaderboard in my other wiki and I came up with this conclusion:
Chrono Wiki does not need this feature added. I found some annoying things to happen ever time I edit the other wiki. I will still keep it on the other wiki until it gets worst, but I believe if added here it may ruin the editing procedures and people may violate some our policy and guidelines set forth. We've already did so well in maintaining the wiki. We don't need another feature that could ruin what we've established. Plus there'll be no point for my [[Chrono Wiki:Awards and Decorations|awards]]. lol.
It was a good idea, but it doesn't seem like it will fit into the Chrono Wikiverse. Thanks to those who voted and put there opinions in to this topic.}}
