Hi all,

I've been debating about this idea for a while, but I think now is the perfect time to open a discussion about Wikia's Achievements feature.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/a/aa/Labs_-_Achievements.png/revision/latest?cb=20110526210425 Basically, Achievements are badges that you get for your Wikia account based on your contributions to the wiki. There are badges for contributing a certain number of edits, adding photos, and even pages in a specific category. While they don't actually have any practical value, they do encourage editing on the wiki, and help spice up the editing experience.

One of the most interesting parts of the Achievements feature is that we can edit the achievements to be themed after SiIvaGunner memes and the community. For example, when a new editor joins, we can edit the badge text to read "Please read the channel description." with a picture of SiIvaGunner's face on it. These themes are set by the administrators, but we can also decide them as a community.

I've included some achievements ideas in this Dropdown:

So, what are your thoughts? Should we add achievements to the wiki? Do you have any ideas for achievements? Add them below!
