My Time at Portia Wiki:Achievements




 * Not to be confused with the Steam Achievements

Achievements are wiki badges earned for meeting certain criteria. These achievements allow you to earn points and work your way up the Leaderboard.

Guidelines
When it comes to editing, please remember all policies apply. All users, regardless of user right, are bound to this policy and all other policies.


 * Be productive, be constructive
 * Do not edit articles for the sole purpose of getting badges. Be productive, be constructive, write useful information, add tons of information, add relevant categories and images. Edit as much as possible in a single edit.


 * Do not achievement-hunt
 * By this definition, under no circumstances are you permitted to, but not limited to : spamming; vandalizing; adding irrelevant content, categories or images; making small nonconstructive edits; editing and reverting a change; removing valid content on pages; creating duplicate articles; creating unnecessary categories; uploading unnecessary images, videos, audio, or other forms of media; or doing any other forms of malicious activity.


 * Blocked users are hidden
 * Blocked users will have all their badges hidden (not taken away) from their userpage; if applicable for the Leaderboard, their ranking is hidden as well. When you are unblocked, you earn your badges back and continue where you left off. Please avoid getting yourself blocked.

Types of badges
There are tons of badges to earn, including:
 * Joining the wiki!
 * Editing your userpage
 * Leaving a message on someone's message wall
 * Editing mainspace articles
 * Adding categories to mainspace articles
 * Adding images to mainspace articles
 * Writing blog posts
 * Commenting on blog posts
 * Editing every day consecutively (time resets at UTC+0)
 * And more secret achievements!

For your information only, the Creator badge is only available to the wiki creator, in this case User:Gamsii. No other user can get this badge.

Additionally, there is only one platinum badge, the 365 day badge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
This FAQ is directly taken from Help:Achievements.


 * I made 8,000 edits before we added Achievements. Can I start out with bonus points?
 * No, the record starts when the feature is turned on. As an experienced editor, it shouldn't take you long to dominate the leaderboard.


 * Why do multiple users have the 'Lucky' badge?
 * This badge is awarded each time 1000 edits are made – one user will receive it for the 1000th edit, another for the 2000th edit, and so on.


 * Why did I miss a day on the "contributing to the wiki every day" achievement?
 * The tracking for this achievement is based off server time, which is in the UTC timezone. For example, if you make an edit at 2 pm in the PST timezone (UTC-8) one day then another at 6 pm the next day, in UTC this will be counted as 10 pm on day one and 2 am on day three. We recommend keeping an eye on time in UTC if you are dedicated towards this achievement.


 * One of the editors in my community is making bad edits and doesn't deserve to earn a badge for them. Can I take their badges away?
 * Once a badge is awarded, it can't be taken away. If someone is making silly edits just to get badges, then you can leave them a message on their talk page about it. As always, it's best to assume good faith – they may not realize that they're doing anything wrong. Talking to them usually helps! If someone is vandalizing the site and fails to respond to messages, then blocking them from the community is an option.


 * What happens to the badges of a blocked user?
 * Users who have been blocked from editing will have their badges removed and will vanish from the leaderboard (if they have been on there). Once the user is unblocked, their total badge and point count will be returned. If they are still eligible for the leaderboard, they will return there as well.


 * If the Achievement Badges are turned off and back on, will that reset the badges each person has earned?
 * No. Disabling achievements won't reset anything. You can turn them off and then back on, and everything will still be there.
