Welcome to the talk page for the Achievements feature on the AniDB wiki. Here we're discussing what to do to enhance it. I ([[User:Hinoe|Hinoe]] ([[User talk:Hinoe|talk]])) am the self-appointed guy in charge of keeping this wiki page (the reason being I was the guy who went through with its making and also who kicked enough butts to make the project fly when it was stalled). Feel free to add your input, but try to observe the existing formatting so as to keep consistency and (most importantly!) '''don't forget to sign!''' To sign, press the button that looks like a signature above the edit box, or simply type <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>.
Welcome to the talk page that helps the development and enhancement of AniDB's [[achievements]] feature by gathering, organizing and discussing community suggestions. I ([[User:Hinoe|Hinoe]] ([[User talk:Hinoe|talk]])) am the ''de facto'' overall in-charge in regards to this page and generally someone who pokes the relevant people about the feature. By all means, we'd like you to feel free to add your input and help our achievements improve, but please observe the following few guidelines:


This page was reformulated on 2012-02-20 and brought all the data from the old talk page, which may or may not still be accessible [[Talk:Achievements_Dev/Archive|here]]. All useful data was transferred. Answered questions, suggestions the authors gave up on, denied suggestions and implemented suggestions were ignored for the sake of keeping the page clean. There shouldn't be anything useful there, and if it's still there no one really knows why. Maybe because no one bothered deleting it.
* '''Sign your comments.''' This is very important so I'll stress it: '''sign your ''every'' comment.''' To sign, press the button that looks like a signature above the edit box, or simply type <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>. Please remember to do so at your '''every''' addition, and edit again to add a signature if you forget to do so. It's very hard to track who's saying what if people don't sign, creating confusion. Manual "signatures" may be added, or usernames appended, as required.
 
* '''Observe and follow the existing formatting.''' Consistency is important and helps information to stay findable.
As of 2012-10-12 or the next day, depending on your timezone, this page also has a new section for creator and anime achievements suggestion, to avoid further clutter. This means I've also moved stuff around again, which is an error-prone monkey work. I'm human and I make mistakes, and even though I checked everything many times some issues may have slipped; if you find that I did something wrong, please fix it. Please help keep this page organized by keeping your replies organized and posting in the proper section. Thank you.
* '''Don't add several suggestions on a single line.''' Multi-suggestion lines require posts to be edited to separate everything, because it's impossible to discuss anything unless the subject is clear.
 
* '''Be careful to not duplicate suggestions.''' Search the page before posting. Duplicates may be moved around, copyedited for integration, or replaced by "agreed"-style notes. Just adding that you agree with an existing suggestion is perfectly fine, though. However, clear duplicates of suggestions that are specifically on the denied suggestions area will be nuked on sight.
--[[User:Hinoe|Hinoe]] ([[User talk:Hinoe|talk]])
* '''Check if it's not somehow implemented on the [[Achievements|live achievements page]].''' More of a corollary of the previous guideline than a guideline of its own, really. Implemented suggestions are normally removed, and so are new "suggestions" to "implement" them; after all, the page is about ''development'', not about keeping discussion history of stuff already implemented.
 
* '''Sign your comments.''' I'm repeating this one because it's way too important. It's probably the most important point. Typing <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> or clicking the signature button isn't exactly hard and saves people a lot of trouble.
 
== Update on 2014-01-27 ==
 
Guys, an update on the most recent posts on this page: I'm seeing a lot somewhat careless posts that are unwillingly making it hard to keep track of things on the page, so I came up with a few new guidelines to help keep things in line. '''Don't add several suggestions on a single line.''' When you do, I have to edit your posts to separate everything, because it's impossible to discuss anything unless the subject is clear. Also, '''be careful to not duplicate suggestions'''; try actually searching the page with ctrl+f before posting. I sometimes move duplicates around, or copyedit them to integrate them with the original one. If your duplicate adds nothing whatsoever I'll plain replace it with an "agreed" on the original one. If I seem to have removed your suggestion, that's the most likely reason, so search for keywords. Also check to see if it's not somehow implemented on the [Achievements|live achievements page]; [[User:Worf|Worf]] normally removes suggestions when adding them there as implemented, but I may also remove suggestions on cleanup. Additionally, clear duplicates of suggestions that are specifically on the denied area will be removed on sight. I don't touch that area, by the way; I watch it and I can guarantee only the mods move stuff there. Also, '''please sign with timestamps''', by typing <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> at every suggestion you make.
