- This feature or extension is currently under development - it may be in beta testing on specific communities, but may not be widely available for some time.
Your level can be seen on your profile
The wiki experience is only as good as the community makes it. In order for the wiki to recognize users who spend their time sharing with other users, we've come up with an automated point and level system.
How it works
Each time you hit the next level, pat yourself on the back and wear your new title with pride! It will appear not only on your profile page, but also on every comment you leave. It's a signal to other users that you are making this wiki the ultimate community. So get your rank up and show it off with pride!
Note that abusing this system will not be appreciated by other users and may result in action taken against your account. Play nice!
The points system
Check out the tables below to see how the new points and levels system works.
Note the numbers and names are examples and are customizable.
