Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards

Not to be confused with Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards and prizes or Wikipedia:WikiProject Orders, Decorations, and Medals.

WikiProject Wikipedia Awards is a project dedicated to helping people develop the creation and use of Barnstars and other awards within the Wikipedia community. These awards are part of the Kindness Campaign and are used to help promote Civility and WikiLove.

Goals
	edit
Keep all awards in a tidy, easy-to-navigate directory. Help users who are keen to make new awards. Maintain all awards and templates related to them. Promote the use of Barnstars and other awards throughout Wikipedia. Make sure that all awards are used in the proper manner.

Awards
	edit
Barnstars are used on Wikipedia to reward users who make outstanding contributions in a particular area. To give someone an award, all you have to do, is copy the code from the table onto the talk page of the person you want to give the award to, and tell them why you have given it to them. There are many types of barnstar to choose from; if you are sure your choice is appropriate - don't be shy! The Wikipedia Administrators Award, or WAA, was started by BlueCaper. The current version includes the puzzle-globe logo of Wikipedia and a mop, as administrative tools are often likened to a janitor's mop. It is usually given by non-administrators to administrators whose help and contributions have been greatly appreciated. A WikiProject's award is awarded for substantial contributions towards a particular WikiProject. Other Related Awards, In addition to barnstars, there are several other awards as well. While barnstars are generally reserved for a long-standing pattern of excellence, the following awards are more often given to honor specific actions or events. The Order of the Day Is usually awarded annually to a Wikimedia developer or technical person for exceptional service to the community. Often, but not always, awarded for a specific achievement, it was most recently awarded to Justin Knapp for being the first person to make 1,000,000 edits. Personal User Awards In the Personal User Awards there is a wide range of awards to choose from, from the "Golden Wiki" award, for users who have made outstanding contributions, to the "Son of Jimbo" award, for users with the last name "Wales". So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else, why don't you give them a reward to show your gratitude? Service awards May be self-awarded dependent upon number of contributions and the length of service.

New Awards
	edit
If you have a design for a new award, you can propose the award on the project talk page. It is recommended that new Barnstars be shared at the talk page; many users have posted Barnstars at WP:BS without realizing that their Barnstar idea had already been in place. If you have a new idea for an award, but don't possess any graphic programs with which to make said award, then you can either: Pick a user from the above list and ask them individually or Post it on the project talk page for a larger "reception"
