This page documents an official Robot Wars Wiki policy, a widely accepted standard that all users should follow. When editing this page, please ensure that your revision reflects consensus. If in doubt, consider discussing changes on the talk page. |
Badges are awarded by admins in recognition of excellent contributions to single articles. This is in contrast to awards, which recognise general contributions or contributions in excess of badges. Badges operate in the same way as war medals.
The best way to receive a badge is to conduct a major rewrite of an article. Once the rewrite is done, submit to an active admin for consideration.
The admin will then ask the following questions:
- Has the user contributed in a significant way to this article? The article should add no less than 4000 characters to the article to be considered comprehensive, or involve extensive rewriting in spite of not adding numerically to the character count.
- Is it clear that the user put significant work into this. Watching a few Youtube clips and editing while watching is not "significant work". Rewriting summaries into your own words from scratch, discovering interesting trivia tidbits, adding new photos and implementing quotes all indicate hard work.
- Is this the sort of work we want to see more of? Remember, you reward what you want to see more of. Admins don't set the bar low on what to reward, and you should aim high to be highly acclaimed.
As with Awards, badges are not given out for articles for articles created within two months of broadcast. These articles will be created anyway and it is unfair to award the user who just happened to get in first.
