User blog:ZachOWott/MEDALS ARE COMING BACK!

Hey everyone, BIG ANNOUNCEMENT today!!

You know those things that were sort of like badges but they were custom and admins can give them out that UCP got rid of? MEDALS

WELL NOW THEY'RE BACK

So, this is not quite automatic, but it never really was anyway. Now, let me explain how this will work.

Medals will be a new subpage of everyone's userpage. It will be empty until you earn a medal. Medals will, for the most part, be competition related. Please do not ask for me to make medals for specific things, they will be decently rare. I'm not bringing back the old ones, we're starting fresh. There will also not be easy ones like "join the discord" because it's tedious and I want this to be more special than that. I've set up some code that I will paste onto the person's subpage when they get a medal for the first time. Your medal collection will look like this: (The boxes will be filled in with a picture. You can hover over this picture to view what the medal is called and how you got it.)

To show you more what it would look like, I made a tester medal called "Medal Creator" for myself. The other empty boxes will not be there when you have less than that amount of medals.

As of right now, there will be no medals on anyone's medal subpages yet because it has JUST been created today. However, if you would like to go to it, go to this link or go to the bottom of the rail module (thing on the right side of most pages).

Note: If you add anything to your medal page, it will be removed once you get your first medal and the page will be protected so users cannot give themselves medals unfairly. You have been warned.

The first batch of medals will be the rewards for various categories from Advent Calendar 2020 which is on its last day today! Once again, please do not ask me or the admins to add medals, they will be created for various things as time goes by. Thanks for reading!

(ComicTalk and other wikis, you do not have permission to use the code used in this project, it was 100% created by me.)
