Pointsgaming is the act of making useless edits on pages only for badges and/or score. In this wiki, it is considered a serious offence and transgressors will be punished accordingly. Make sure to report any pointsgaming to an administrator.

Examples of Pointsgaming

  • Adding categories unrelated to the article;
  • Adding categories not listed on the Category Listing;
    • Always check the categories page above before adding a category.
    • If you feel a category should be added, put it in the Category Appeal.
  • Adding galleries where they do not belong;
    • Only add images related to the article.
  • Editing, saving the page, and editing again.
    • Edit everything there is to edit, then save the page.
  • Recreating an unfinished page
    • You will get banned for recreating a page anyways. Don't do it with an unfinished page.

    • Multiple editing on pages, adding a picture where it doesn't belong.
