Revision as of 05:40, 29 November 2009

Establishing a number of fun awards for members of the Dark Brotherhood who contribute to the DJBWiki. These are not official (i.e. will not appear on member dossiers but will be placed on user pages.

Problem


"[The] DB being exclusively merit-based and competition-based with regards to how we award medals."
― Muz Ashen, GM Report (11/22/2009)

The criteria for awarding [Dark Side Scroll]]s for activity on the DJBWiki is touch and go (currently not even in practice). The Dark Brotherhood is an environment where members participate in an activity and are rewarded for said activity and when rewards do not come the user member is reluctant to do that activity again.

Mission

The aim of this proposal is to set out a plan in to establish a number of fun awards which can be awarded by Wiki Staff to users (on their user page) so that:

  1. Members know that their contributions are noticed and valued.
  2. Members feel rewarded for their actions.
  3. (Effect of #2) Members want to continue using the wiki.
  4. Members can aim to achieve something via wiki use.
