Help:2022 archive/Game of Rassilon

Achievements are a fun way to target your editing. It is a game which awards points and badges for completing various editing tasks. YOu can see how well you're doing against other users by going to Special:Leaderboard.

The game is governed by the achievements policy on this wiki. Each wiki is free to set their own rules concerning the playing of the game, so there may be differences in the way the game is administered here versus other wikis.

Technical tips

If you care about maximising your point totals, you should pay attention to the following discoveries:

• The general editing track — that is, the one that receives badges which display simple numbers — only counts editing in namespace 0. That is to say, your counter only advances when you edit a normal article. You don't get points for editing a Category, Talk, Forum or any other kind of page.
• The picture editing track is very finicky. It only rewards you for adding a picture which is already uploaded. If you create a redlink on a page, click on the redlink, and then upload your picture — you get no points for it.
