Hi all, Atvelonis here. If you don't know me, I'm one of the wiki's administrators and help run some of the background stuff here.

I've been thinking about ways to get people to become more active ever since I took a deeper interest in editing. Our lore articles in particular could certainly do with some work, as many of them are uninformative, unsourced, or poorly written in general.

There have been a number of ideas about how to fix this, such as the Lore Guild, which seems to be partially successful, but not as much as I'd like. While it's sparked a little bit of interest, it hasn't been nearly enough.

In another attempt to get people to edit more lore articles, I am going to be implementing more badges (the ones that get you on the Leaderboard). These new badges will be earned from editing lore articles of various categories, and like other badges you'll get a certain number of points for earning each one. Simple enough, right?

Well, I'd still like some ideas on which categories to actually use (e.g. Lore: Characters, Lore: Locations, Lore: Events, etc.), and what to call the badges. If you're not sure where to start, I'd say to look at current badge names and categories for examples and vaguely base your suggestions off them but with a lore theme.

You get a badge for editing 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500, each of which need names, and we're going to have a few categories, so it's going to add up to being something like 40 names, give or take. You can post your suggestions (as many as you like) as replies to this thread. If you have any questions or concerns I'd be happy to answer them. Happy editing!
