វិគីភីឌា:Service awards

ទំព័រនេះដោយសង្ខេប: Some editors choose to acknowledge their service to Wikipedia by displaying a service award, which denotes time served and number of edits made. These awards are unofficial – displaying the wrong one carries no penalty, and displaying the right one does not indicate authority or competence.

WikiProject Wikipedia Awards

ផ្លូវកាត់s: WP:SVC WP:SERVICE

Service awards are a simple way of acknowledging an editor's level of contribution based on two specific benchmarks: the number of contributions the editor made to Wikipedia and the length of time they have been registered. One academic has described Wikipedia's service award schema as a way to award the self.^[១]

Unlike other awards given from one editor to another in a show of appreciation, this is one award that is intended to be given to yourself, although it can also be given by a second party. It is achieved strictly by a mechanical count of time registered and number of edits. There is no process for receiving these awards; you just determine the award grade to which you are entitled, then display it on your user page.

Please remember that neither the number of edits, nor the length of time from when an account was created are, in and of themselves, good indicators of the quality of an editor's contributions or diplomatic ability. Hence, service awards do not indicate any level of authority whatsoever; "master" editors are not bestowed with more authority, through this award, than "novice" editors.

Levels

There are currently 19 award levels and one base level. The "Signator-to-Lord Gom, the Highest Togneme of the Encyclopedia" track is a humorous alternative for those who find the more formal titles too stuffy.

Signator is from the Latin signātōrius, which means someone who has made a mark.
Burba means "recruit" in Venetian.
Novato is Spanish and Portuguese for "beginner".
Grognard (French for "grumbler") was Napoleon's pet name for his Old Guard.
Tutnum, Labutnum, Looshpah, Togneme and Gom are made-up words that are intended to sound impressive.

For the first four levels, there are also incremental service awards. Unlike the Standard Unofficial Service Awards these awards allow users to have awards in-between the major service awards. There are 16 incremental service awards, with four levels of incremental service award for each of the first four service awards.

For the sake of variety, three badge variants are provided for each level: a medal, a book, and a ribbon (thanks to វិគីភីឌា:Ribbons). To keep the validity and status of the major service awards, a ribbon is the only variant for incremental service awards. Editors may display the badge of their preference, a combination of badges, or none at all.

To learn your edit count and the date of your first logged edit, you can click My Preferences, where this information will appear. A more detailed edit counter is X!'s Edit Counter; there are also other edit counters and analysis tools. These tools do not always provide equal numbers because they rely on different methods of calculation.

Exposition on the requirements

What is counted?

How to count your edits is up to you. It's generally assumed that all edits, including bot edits and deleted edits, are OK to count. If you want to count edits on other Wikimedia projects, that's OK too. If you began as an anonymous IP editor and want to count from the time of your first IP edit, that's OK too. If you run or ran more than one account and want to combine their edit counts, that's OK too. It's all on the honor system, so do what you think gives you the most fair and accurate award level.

To clarify, though: both the edit count and time in harness for a given level are required to achieve that level.

Rationale for the requirements

The edit count requirements for the levels are based on what, in the opinion of the editors who formulated the requirements, could be achieved by a human editor working with considerable regularity and diligence using the default tools and a fairly typical editing pattern. The awards for the first two years require a considerably lower edit rate than those for the later years.

Bots and editors using certain tools or editing patterns may achieve higher rates, while editors using certain editing patterns (such as mainly posting completed articles with a single edit and so forth) may have lower rates, and of course editors who don't edit regularly may have lower rates.

Thus not all editors will see a good match between service time and edit counts (some editors may be eligible for a high level by service time but not by edit count, while other editors may be eligible for a high level by edit count but not by service time). This is an imperfection which is an inherent consequence of the decision to use an uncomplicated system for determining eligibility for each award.

The first seven levels (up to Veteran Editor or Tutnum), which cover the first two years of one's editing career, would require a rate of 4,000 edits per year if one were to advance levels with edit counts and service time in perfect synchronization (except that the very first level, Novice Editor or Burba, requires only 200 edits rather than 333).
Levels 8 through 11 (up to Senior Editor or Labutnum), which cover the next two years of one's editing career, would require a rate of 8,000 edits per year if one were to advance levels with edit counts and service time in perfect synchronization.
Levels 12 and up would require a rate of 9,000 edits per year if one were to advance levels with edit counts and service time in perfect synchronization.

Images and userboxes

You can place the {{service awards}} template on your user page to show the image or userbox most appropriate for your time of service and edit count. For it to calculate the time you have been registered with Wikipedia, you must give it year=, month= and day= parameters specifying your registration date. You must also give your edit count using an edits= parameter, and update this each time your edits pass one of the service award levels. The format= parameter can be used to specify the display format. See the template's documentation for details.

Alternatively, you can pick an award template from the following table:
