Retire of Wikichievement

I think the "Lagg Pleaser" Wikichievement should be retired, considering said User does not edit anymore and has even been blocked by his own request. Maybe a new section for "retired wikichievements" should be made so it can still be seen somewhere.

Pictogram plus.png  I agree, but since its clearly a gag ahievement, why not replace with another comical one? "Swood's Chosen" or any other funny name. YossefTalk 05:58, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
Others suggested that too, the issue is that I mostly undo edits that break policy. A Wikichievement for not breaking policy seems kind of weird to me.

It should be fine to retire the Wikiachievement, but we won't be substituting it with another user's name or anything else.
If you have ideas for new Wikiachievements, please open a new discussion similar to the ones above. — Tark 16:06, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikicheivment milestones

The milestone will be earned if the user unlocks a certain number of Wikichievments. Good idea?

Seeing as the Wikichievements are not automated, I don't think these would be a very good idea. There's not much involved in milestones either, in-game they're associated with an item drop, but on the Wiki at most it would be a glorified counter.

Sting Like A Bee
For tirelessly fighting against vandalism or bad faith edits efficiently and well.

How about this? I feel like it could work well. Plutonium (talk) (contributions)

That's just Quick Draw basically. "Moderate the Recent Changes queue and quickly revert vandalism and low-quality edits" Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 20:16, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
But specifically for vandalism. Plutonium (talk) (contributions)

I just do not see the need to have two separate wikichievements that are basically the exact same with slightly different phrasing. They both would end up serving the same purpose. Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 20:35, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
Like Mediarch said, this is pretty much Quick Draw. Wikichievements ideally shouldn't be given out for doing something once or twice, the Quick Draw wikichievement is exactly what this is used for.

Sun Tzu Reborn
For heavily contributing to the strategy articles to the point where it would put Sun Tzu to shame!

Pretty self-explanatory. Currently there are a lot of missing strategy articles, this Wikichievement would serve as both an incentive as well as a reward to let those who work on it know their work is valued. Similar to other Wikichievements like Photo Bomb, Team Fortress, Too, The Trivial Inquisition, Audiophile, Parlez-Vous Français?, etc. this is a Wikichievement geared towards a specific section of the Wiki.

I like it. Map strategy is valued but there isn't really any form of recognition for it at the moment so this could help encourage those who contribute to the strategy section to keep it up. Sun Tzu's got nothing on us! Mediarch User Mediarch PFP.pngTalkMy Edits 16:22, 18 July 2025 (UTC)
