User blog:HF/Rejuvenating User Incentive

Hello, everyone.

Today, Zone and I were talking about how to encourage users to make the wiki a better place.

So, we came to the conclusion of remaking the awards system, and making unique and special templates to commemorate your achievements.

First off, I'm going to delete all current awards, and make it so only admins + staff can award awards. Awards will come with a special template. I was thinking the template could parody the Minecraft achievements(ACHIEVEMENT GET).

There is a small possibility we could award member codes for something special(everyone 6 months we could award a Best Editor and give them a membership code.)

I could also ask for certain awards to make your user level increase.

Here is a list of potential awards:

List

 * Converted 5 LQAs to a HQAs.
 * Converted 10 LQAs to HQAs.
 * Converted 50 LQAs to HQAs.
 * Converted 100 LQAs to HQAs.
 * Decorated 20 articles with photos.
 * Decorated 100 articles with photos.
 * Created 5 FAOTMs.

Feel free to comment on the talk page for some recommendations.
