Donors

2009-03-30 [Artsie_ladie]: You're welcome. :) But the faffing still needs to be adjusted for Featured Story/Featured Writers. I wasn't sure what was decided about the badges, the levels (grades), and what's to be required for each level.

2009-03-30 [Chimes]: I think we've decided on what gets you each badge... One moment... I'll have a look. ^^

2009-03-30 [Chimes]: First badge: 1 Story
Second badge: 6 Stories
Third badge: 13 Stories
Last badge: 22 Stories.

We wanted to make it hard. :D

2009-03-30 [Hedda]: Shouldn't it be 1, 5, 17 and 42? That would make much more sense!

First you start with the law of five and then classical science fiction. to sum those numbers up.

2009-03-30 [Chimes]: It would? o.o

2009-03-30 [Hedda]: 5 comes from Principia Discordia, 17 is the classical example number and 42 is a common number in quantum mechanics...

2009-03-30 [Chimes]: I think this is lost on me :P Especially when in an art lesson.

2009-03-30 [Artsie_ladie]: I like the #17 'me'self. hehe 42 stories, though... wow! That's a lot. We'll have some really ancient Elftowners hanging around, if they try to reach that number. But... it's one way to keep Elftowners hanging around! :)

2009-03-30 [Hedda]: Hm... [SilverFire]: Was Builders supposed to replace all of Masters, Grand, Grandest and Greatest?

In that case the links above should be removed and the pages should be edited to become a link to Builders.

2009-03-30 [Hedda]: Unrelated question: Can an inspector be seen as a donor? Sound strange that they have "donated" bug-reports, but they have surely been helpful.

2009-03-30 [SilverFire]: It replaces it for all ranks of the architect/builder, but the pages they were listed on before (Masters, Grand, etc.) can't be edited yet because they contain the information for the inspectors too, and I haven't finished faffing the inspectors yet. :) I think at the moment inspectors are listed as Workers rather than donors. Bar the fact that the ECM contests give builder badges it almost makes more sense for builders to be listed there too, rather than here.

*edit* Just checked, the builders are already listed on Workers <_<

2009-03-30 [Artsie_ladie]: I think the Builders' badges should be listed for both work related and donating, since the Builders' badge starts out (or most often so) as far as I know, by donating.

What are the specific requirements of the different levels/grades of the Builders' badge?

I think badges that can have a dual meaning or purpose, should be listed in all places where they are applicable. :P

2009-03-30 [SilverFire]: The phrase "specific requirements" and the builder's badge don't go hand in hand - if one person makes one tiny official wiki another another makes a huge, very useful official wiki, then clearly they're not going to earn the same amount of credit. But [Nehirwen] made a very useful guidelines page to help with crew building, but they basically apply to non-crew too.

2009-03-30 [SilverFire]: Why are featured writers listed under donations of wikis and not donations of writing? O_o

2009-03-30 [SilverFire]: Also, maybe tutors would be better here than on Workers.

2009-03-30 [Chimes]: I was going to ask that too. XD

2009-03-30 [Artsie_ladie]: Because on page version #52 you added the Featured Writers' badge under the Wikigraphers' badges, instead of up with Featured Painters and Featured Members. I kinda' wondered why it would be considered with the Wikigraphers as well. Hence my statement under the Wikigraphers. :P I'm making adjustments on Donors' Page - Faffed, so as not to make so many page versions here.

2009-03-30 [SilverFire]: I added the badge to the bottom of the 'featured x' list, since it was the newest one. X_x

2009-04-07 [Chimes]: Also... the incorrect Featured Story badges are up there... I assume Lin has the correct ones...

2009-04-07 [SilverFire]: I updated with Artsie's stuff from her faff page.

2009-04-08 [Janouk]: Even though it's quite a large page I like the extra info we get now. But I'd put the title below the title image.
