Hi there,

Is there a place with explanations about points ?

There are points under my profil I don't know where it comes from.

SOmetimes when I do something there are some little green +2 written next to the task is that point if yes where do they go ?

I read that participating helps earn points but ... if yes what is the system ?

What are the points for ?

For exemple is that something that allow to vote for tags ?

Everything is quite mysterious :3

Check here, you get points for edits. The more you contribute the more you level up. Not quite sure if there's a specific thread on the points but maybe someone else will reply with more info? (I've been on here a year and don't really pay attention to it)

Thanks for your answer.
I've been here for a few years and honestly I wasn't paying more attention to it.
I get that participating is doing something but that's because I couldn't find clear information that I opened that ticket.

Also some things seem possiblee only with maybe some points ... but I don't get it.
Hopefully someone has the answer :3

Hello!

There are 2 types of points at the moment:

  • Karma points

  • Contribution points

Karma points are the points you get from being active on the site. However, this feature is still a beta feature. It is not completed yet, so it doesn't function properly for now. Also, the points are frozen for everyone currently. It should be available in version 7 of the site.

Contribution points (the ones you are referring to) are the points you get from submitting edits to titles and people pages. Basically, helping keep the database up to date. The points you get depend on how many changes you make per submission. You also get coins when you contribute and your submissions are approved, but those are based on the total pool of submissions every day.

Not sure what you mean by "some things seem possible only with maybe some points". It might be that the admins have implemented some limits so that people don't spam certain edit sections.

Let me know if you still have questions, and I'll be happy to answer them.

Thank you!

Hi,

First of all thank you for answering !

So the point under the profile picture 'when watching someones profile) are the karma points.
Those are still in a beta version at the moment.

And then contribution points are contribution points ... when helping with the database in some way.

Question : once I was trying to vote for tags and there is a pop up saying "You do not have enough of points to edit or cast vote." what is the system for this ? what points and how many points are required ?

Thank you :3
