Forum:Achievement Leaderboards

Forums: Index > Temporal Vortex > Achievement Leaderboards

Wikia has created a new system and was wondering if our wiki was interesting in including one. I've already included it in my other wiki. What it basically is.... is it keep track of everything you do like adding categories, fixing pages, making and commenting in blogs, adding pictures etc and you get points. 50 points for bronze, 100 for gold and i think 200 for gold. There are also secret achievements as well... if you are interesting vote yes below... if not well vote no... For more information click here.

Ah, I see we got some votes. There are some downside but I think it would be worth to have it here to promote contribution to the wiki. Any thoughts? Zey^pher 09:42, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

I think it sounds cool, It seems like more people would contribute and help out and even small things make the wiki better. IDK how the system works, but if larger contributions equal more points, I'd imagine that people would be filling out huge missing chunks of Crimson Echos, and Chrono Cross. -Sonicboom112

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 ~~~~ so it will display your signature without you typing it. Zey^pher 17:56, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Okay. Sounds cool, I'm in favor. Sonicboom112 18:07, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

SilverCrono - {{{time}}} olos~ I voted no. A similar discussion can be found here, but I might as well post my opinion here. I think Achievements are a good idea, but bad in practice. For example, think about Sir Admin 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. Thirdly, we're going to get people who edit for the medals only. Why edit and do something useful and spend an hour, when you can type in a capital letter 100 times and get a medal? It's much faster. This goes thorugh the mind of somebody craved with Achivements. Ever had a friendobsessed with Achievements, on an Xbox 360? I hope not. It's a weird sight. Playing the bad games for hours, playing the good games beyond the fun... Just for a stupid amountof points. WTF? I know this is a pessimistic approach (and I apologize for the gargantuan wall of text), but I laid my opinion loose. Right there. Take it as you will.
