Assassin's Creed Wiki:Achievements

The Achievement System
Assassin's Creed Wiki, since 19th of July 2010 have supported achievements, medals and points as rewards to proficient editors.

However, there are some editors who think they can out-smart the system by adding random spaces, periods and nonsense to articles.

We, the writers of this guide, know that some users may not know they are breaking the rules. It is encouraged that all users should read this guide first before being warned or having their points taken from them.

Saving Page Constantly:
Most heavily used on the Timeline pages, over-use of links, periods, random spaces and adding 'st' or 'th' to date numbers. Besides over-use of links, all of those others aren't bad and can make a page look good sometimes, but when you add periods or fix up date numbers be sure to edit them as a group!

If an editor performs the example listed below, they are can be punished.

 Add 'st' to 1st of Janurary > Save Page > Add 'th' to 4th of March > Save Page > Etc, etc.  - Vice Versa with periods, linkage.

This exploit is a bannable offense and can result in a user's loss of points.

Instead, the editor should scroll to the top of the page, and click 'Edit This Page'. This will show the editor the whole page to edit as a group and not individually with sub-headings.

Good Example:

 Click Edit This Page (not edit next to sub-heading) > Add 'st' to 1st, add 'th' to 4th, add 'th' to 5th, add 'nd' to 2nd > Save Page 

The example above is editing as a group, this is what you are supposed to do, and is not a bannable offense.

Removing and Adding Imagery:
Removing an image off a page, then saving the page, then adding it back in an effort to get points will result in you actually losing points. It is a bannable offense to do this and you will be caught.

Example:

 Remove current image > Save Page > Add the exact image but under user's name > Save Page 

A list of other offenses involving the Achievement System follow:

 * Adding nonsense to pages, then removing it yourself.
 * Editing an article, using multiple sub-headings instead of grouping the edit.
 * Constant postings of blogs that have been done before.

You may be wondering how a cheat is caught, since his/her edit is lost in a mass of other edits.

Everytime a user makes an edit in this wiki it is logged and can be tracked back to the user, so think twice before abusing the achievement system.
