Just a suggestion, but would it be a good idea to have a barnstar wagon like the welcomer’s. I just think it will encourage more WikiHowers and spur them on to be more successful. Let me know what you think. And to all at the London meet-up, enjoy!

Barnstars are given rarely because they are a big kind of award, so this is not necessary.
Thanks for the suggestion! We already have a Welcomer’s Barnstar: http://www.wikihow.com/Template:BarnstarWELH

I think she means that we should have a tool that gives out barnstars to users.
I see. Well, I personally would be against this because Barnstars are a very high honor on a wiki, and are usually given out sparingly. We have many award templates
that you can give out to promising contributors who don’t necessarily deserve a Barnstar yet. Thus, I feel that a “barnstar wagon” wouldn’t be necessary. Thanks for the suggestion Hannah!
Aah no I understand. Just wanted to give an idea. Thanks for the feedback.
I think maybe a different tool like an Award Wagon would maybe be better instead of a Barnstar Wagon, because they are pretty special. I like your idea though!(:

Personally I don’t think such a tool is worth the engineer’s time since we already have awards and it’s not hard to award them to users.
