Various awards can be given to editors on PZwiki on their talk pages.
The first concept of awards was introduced by Connall in September 2014, as awards that are similar to Userboxes, which was brought back in July 2018 by Vaileasys along with the userboxes and community projects, but never really caught up. Then the dedicated barnstars were introduced to PZwiki by Ikip in November 2023, before finally being changed to general awards in early 2024.
How to give an award
To give someone an award, copy the syntax found in the What to type with a message explaining why it was given into the talk page of the user, signing it off with your signature and the current timestamp.
If you want to rename an award, you can do so by adding a pipe |
and writing a new name, the award name will be replaced by it.
