User blog:Knife!/Tutorials I

This will be the first of many tutorials, this tutorial will focus on the Achievement Leaderboard, our wonderful feature which encourages editing.

What is it?
The achievement leaderboard is a way of keeping track of edits in a more exciting way that the plain old edit count

How do you progress?
By editing, of course! If you make a certain amount of edits in a certain category, you will gain points depending on the amount of edits. For e.g. 1 edit on a Characters page will give you 10 points, 25 edits will give you 50 points and 250 edits will give you 100 points. Some edit tracks are different though as you can gain points by adding categories and pictures. Then there is the Wiki Love track which is for editing everyday for a certain amount of time. In this track, you are provided with the only 250 point badge which can be earned by editing for 365 days in a row. Then there is the Special track which you can gain points for editing your userpage, joining the wiki and even commenting on this blog! There are plenty more badges for you to discover.

How can I access the leaderboard?
There is a section on your userpage which shows you all of the badges you have earned and the badges you are close to. Above that it will show you your position in the leaderboard and give you a link. Special:Leaderboard also links to the leaderboard.
