Forums: Index > Watercooler > Achievement Pages?
I've been thinking this for a while, but I think it would be a cool idea to have pages for individual achievements... For example, the Enchanter achievement from Arcanists could have it's very own page at Arcanists/Achievement:Enchanter. On that page, we could have a table that shows the large image of the achievement (only shown once it's unlocked), the official FunOrb description of the achievement, the number of orb points it's worth, and the number of orb coins recieved. On the left of the table, there could even be hints on how to get the achievement. Below is an example of what the page could possible look like when implemented:
Arcanists/Achievement:Enchanter[]
| |||
| Game | Arcanists | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Win a Rated game. | ||
| Orb Points |  100
|
Orb Coins | 1 |
< Arcanists
This achievement can be unlocked by winning a rated game. Winning a rated game can be easy, as long as you choose your spells wisely.
Useful Tips[]
- Make sure you have a mixture of offensive and defensive spells, so you can gain an advantage over your opponent.
- Using familiars is a great way to win.
- You can get a familiar as long as you are using a complete spell book at once, except for the arcane spell book.
- These are just some example tips I came up with off the top of my head.
- Not all achievement articles would need to have tips.
- In the case of this one, it is very easy to achieve.
- Therefore, there would probably not need to be any tips for it.
What do you guys think about this? Creating a template for the table on the right would be simple to create, and it would be great if we had a place to add the large achievement images, as they have significantly more detail than the smaller ones. We'd just have to save the images from the achievement section of the FunOrb site, crop them, and save them as (achivement name) large.png... It has the potential to be a lot of work, but not only would it be worth it, it would also allow for us to get rid of the notes sections of the achievement sections, which would clean up the page layout, and it would let us show curious visitors what the large versions of the achievement images look like. --Bigd56 | Talk 01:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- Personally I'm not sure if this idea should be implemented. It would be a lot of extra work, and I'm not sure if the gains justify it. However, if this is implemented, I think the table should look like this, with any notes part of the article itself, rather than in the table.

- I was actually thinking about having notes on the left and I mentioned that in the notes section of the table, actually... I've edited the notes section of the table out. Also, if nobody else is willing to create these achievement pages, I'd do the job... It would take time, but it wouldn't be that difficult, and it was my idea in the first place. --Bigd56 | Talk 02:14, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Just to show just how big of a difference there is between the small achievement image thimbnails, and the larger full versions, I have created the following image:
As you can see, much detail is lost when the image is scaled down. This is even more noticable on achievements with number on them, such as Pixel Legend. --Bigd56 | Talk 03:48, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- I support this idea; I think the article name could just be [[(Game Name)/(Achievement Name)]]. It doesn't have to state that it is an achievement, as the walkthrough articles don't do that either. I guess that it would be easily assumed that it is an achievement page. See my sandbox for my idea of what it should look like. I also made some edits to the template. Can someone edit it to align the Orb Point/Coin requirement text (and image) properly? 19118219 Talk 09:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- I just realised...even if this is all done before the next game release, we are going to have like 800 articles in total, and like 20 more per new game...yey lolz =) 19118219 Talk 09:32, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- I think it should have the Achievement: after the name of the game just in case we eve get something weird like a level with the same name as an achievement... plus, it will help us easily distinguish between achievement articles and walkthrough articles with a short glance on the All Pages page. --Bigd56 | Talk 15:29, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

- There are some achievements that are rather difficult to win in F2P, although, it shows as avaiable for F2P.(miner disturbance score achievements)

That needs done still for 36 Card Trick, Escape Vector, Hold the Line, Lexicominos, Sol-Knight, Stellar Shard, The Track Controller, Torquing!, and Pixelate. If you can, could you take care of that?

Nicely done... =] now we need to move all notes about specific achievements from the article pages into the achievement pages, and remove the notes sections... then after that we need to copy all descriptions, orb points, orb coins, and whether or not achievements are members only. After that we can worry about achievement images. I made some categories to make this process as easy as possible:
- Category:Achievements without images
- Category:Achievements without game information specified
- Category:Achievements without descriptions
- Category:Achievements with unknown orb coins
- Category:Achievements with unknown orb points
- Category:Achievements without hidden or not specified
- Category:Achievements without secret or not specified
- Category:Achievements without members only or not specified
Unfortunately, pages may not show up on these lists until the Job Queue is further processed... We just have to wait until then. --Bigd56 | Talk 04:50, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- OHH EMM GEE~~! Lol I didn't mention that the last comment I posted here was at 11 PM in my country and I had to go and sleep immediately. And I can't do anything members-only until I finish uninstalling My_exams_are_coming.exe, then I need two weeks to install Membership_money_reaches_Jagex.exe. Anyway, do you know all the games that need info to be filled in (i.e. those with nothing more than a template, maybe an image, and the stub tag)? I'd be more than willing to help. I already cleaned up the Shattered Plans links. 19118219 Talk 06:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC) P.S.: With this much editing maybe you could be a bureaucrat lol...
