Forum:Is it possible to remove achievements on a wiki?

Hello there, I'm an Administrator at the Micronations Wiki and I have a small question: already from this afternoon I've been receiving a few complaints on Skype regarding the achievements, mainly because they "mess up" user pages and don't count past edits, so I was asked if I could remove them, which is something that I apparenly cannot do. Now, I'd like to ask: can Administrators remove achievements? If yes, how? Or at least, is it possible to hide the achievements on someone's user page? Thanks in advance for all answers! --Cajak [ ★MicroWiki Admin★ ] 22:44, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, if you want to remove achievements, please contact wikia and they will remove it. -- 22:58, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * They can be turned off ( but once an achievement is earned it can NOT be removed ). - Individual users can turn off achievement notification through their Preferences under the Misc tab --  00:02, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, when achievements are turned on they still count edits and past edits will be right by your username on your userpage. So your editors are either stupid enough to complain without proofing, or they don't like it. -- Jeffwang16  (Talk)   (Contributions)   (Email me!)  00:30, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Correct, your total edit count does not get affected, but your past edits do Not count toward the badges, you have to make 1 new edit from the time the achievements are turned on to get the (make 1 edit on a page badge) and so forth, but if you had made 3,000 edits before (then the system still says you have 3,000 edits but you can NOT see it in the top right corner since that is where your achievement points are now, your edit count is right next to your avatar at the top of the page, in smaller print. -- 00:38, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe Achievements on Wikia Help would explain this better/more. -- 00:48, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah that is actually the issue. Users in the wiki just don't find it fair that they have to restart everything from the beginning and don't like the badges sections on their userpages, since it cannot be removed or at least moved somewhere else. I'll contact the Wikia staff anyway and see what they tell me. Thanks for your comments :) --Cajak [ ★MicroWiki Admin★ ] 14:24, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
