Thanks to @Confusionist
for this idea, we can have a wikiContest! (I was forum digging :)) Like we can set a weekly task and like the admins can see that who is the winner! The topics can be: *Tasks on the community Dashboard including Patrolling, Boosting, expanding stubs, etc *Writing articles *Editing articles, weaving links, etc For ex: For patrolling the week’s amount is 187 (set on a Monday) Then the next Monday, we will see finishes the amount first, second and third (or closest) I will create a badge for those!

Why should it be seen as a contest? People come on here in their own time to help out - it shouldn’t be a race to see who is the best. All of the tools on wikiHow has a feature which lets you know who has done the most
. I personally don’t think it should be brought to everyone’s attention as it could cause arguments to arise through “competition”. Plus, there is already a thread created every week outlining contributors achievements.
Yeah, besides last time I rushed to patrol and edit articles I screwed up more than help. I’m with Chappers on this one.
Pretty much the reason I dropped the idea almost a year ago now.
Rushing into different tools isn’t helpful for anyone. This would just promote doing so.
Just to encourage people to help around wikiHow more
Remember: quality over quantity
In a way the comunity achievements is sort of a nicer way of a compitition, you do quality work and certain people get recongnized for it there;)
