I just had this idea earlier and thought I’d say it. I wondered whether there could be an award for an all round contribution to Wikihow, for example, you could receive the award if you: Patrolled 10,000 edits AND Had 100,000 article views AND Had 50,000 contributions. Just an idea and the numbers I give are just to explain my idea. Thoughts?
I think this is kind of similar to Krystle’s Quality Quests.
Not heard of that. What are they?

IMO, we have Barnstars and customizable message templates for these achievements
It’s not a bad idea, though it could encourage editcountitis, if people started rushing to rack up their contribution count just for the purpose of getting an award.
^ I did think hyper-editing could be a problem, AND I thought barnstars might be the same thing but I thought I’d say in case.
We kind of have something like this. =) http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Awards/Milestones

I knew there were individual awards but I thought it may be good to have one for an all round contribution.
Ok, I can see that we’ve already got it covered so I won’t try to force my idea.
It means “bless you” (as in, after a sneeze) in German.
But really, I was thinking about editcountitis - It’s about the quality of the numbers, not just the numbers.

I agree edit quality is more important.
Yup. Also, if you haven’t read already, please read about it. http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Editcountitis

Just tried that and it works great. Thanks CiCi.
I’ll read it now.
