Inactive awards
Both the Favorite User Award and the Homslice of the Week award are inactive, and have been for a while. Would it be alright to, at least temporarily delete or comment tag them from the page? Users often look at these awards with the hope of actually recieving them. — Lapper (talk) 03:34, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think it's up to anyone but the awards creator to delete them. Homestramy20|Talk 03:39, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Is it me...
Is it me or have there been a few new awards recently? Should we want to have more, or less? I alone can think up a couple good awards, but I wasn't sure if I should use them because I thought we had enough. Do we, or should there be more? --

- I know that at lease for myself I would not usually give out an award that was created by someone else, becuase it is not mine to give. It think for that reason, as long as it doesn't become excessive, go for it, award are great moral boosters!

- I agree with Smileyface. That's why I didn't make my Thank You Award be a barnstar. There are too many. — talk Bubsty edits 17:58, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- Seven is not that many, I think. The offical wiki ones (the top three) are rarely used, and the next two are user awards that are currently inactive. In essence, we only have two being actively given, which isn't much at all. --DorianGray

Fanstuff
These seem like stuff that belong on the Fanstuff Wiki... :S - Joshua 17:52, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- but people at this wiki need encourcagement too! Also they only appear on talk pages and not articles. I R F 17:54, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- True. It's still technically fanstuff... but if the admins are fine with it, I'll leave it alone. - Joshua 18:39, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay, enough is enough, guys. Let's calm down a bit.
There are so many different awards out there, that this page probably only represents a 1/4 of a slice of them. Enough is enough. This is getting slightly out of hand. Can we put a limit on the amount of awards and barnstars there are on the wiki, and if so, what should that number be? My answer would be yes and no more than 10 I think. Personally, I also think that this page should have a list of the awards. --

- Personally, I haven't noticed it getting out of hand. There are quite a few different users who have created barnstars that they award people, but for the most part they're using one of their personal images, so it's not an excess image problem.
- I've always been a fan of giving out the more standard awards (The Iron Cup, and one day The Pizza Trophy), but I don't see a problem with users designating one of their personal images as an award to help encourage their fellow wiki users.
- Those are just my thoughts, anyway. As for the question about listing all the awards on this page, I'm fairly ambivalent.

- Well, one must look up to the Fanstuff discussion for why I'm starting to question the ruliness of this in the first place. -- Super Martyo boing! 02:46, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

- I've had an issue with this for a long time. The original barnstars were considered very prestigious, but then they started getting handed out more often. And then users started creating their own awards and abandoning them. In their current state, I don't think these awards are encouraging anybody. We should either drop all the user-made ones or drop them all. — Lapper (talk) 03:24, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
