Viewing and editing achievements
A list of all available achievements can be viewed at Special:Achievements. There is a standard set of achievements that all wikis have by default. Many of these achievements can be removed, altered, or added to by a local wiki administrator using Special:ManageAchievements. All achievements, even those marked as "secret," are visible to administrators.

To delete an achievement, simply click the corresponding button for that achievement. Achievements can be deleted by any admin, but they can also be restored as well. Therefore, the delete function more accurately serves to hide the achievement and prevent it from being awarded by the system. As a note, anyone who has previously earned that achievement will retain it on their profile page. It is still possible to remove the achievement using Special:AwardAchievement. Likewise, the achievement can be manually awarded even after deletion.

Clicking the edit button will open the editing interface. When editing or creating an achievement, a live preview is provided at the top of the screen.

There are 3 main parts to each achievement: Achievement Display, Meta, and Completion Rules.

Achievement display
Most of the fields in the Achievement display are fairly self-explanatory.

Display Name - This is the main title of the achievement.

Short Description - This is a brief description of what the achievement is awarded for.

Category - For ease of navigation, each achievement must be assigned to a category. Where possible, it is recommended to add it to an existing category, but a new category can be created by being manually entered into this field.

Image Name - If the image you wish to use is already uploaded to the wiki, you can type its filename here (e.g. File:AchievementImage1.jpg). If not, an image can be uploaded by either clicking on the box or dragging and dropping a file, which will then automatically be uploaded to the wiki and the URL added to the appropriate field. Images should be square and at least 120px in size. All regularly supported file types are accepted. The default Achievement images are available on the Hydra Commons.

Points Awarded - This is the number of bonus Wiki Points that are given to the user for earning this achievement. It is suggested that admins carefully consider the number of points being awarded are in line with the difficulty of the achievement.

Secret - If checked, this achievement will not be displayed to non-admin users until it is awarded.

In addition to these categories, Gamepedia staff also has the ability to create Global achievements or alter the "Mega" Achievement for a wiki. If you have a suggestion for a new global achievement or need to edit your wiki's Mega Achievement, please reach out to the Gamepedia team.

Criteria
Criteria is seemingly the most complex part of the achievement creation interface, but it is not as tricky as it appears! There are two parts to any completion rules, along with some additional options: Stats and Combined Stats Value Increment. A Stat is some action tracked by the achievements system. Each time that trigger is activated, the increment will increase by 1. Once the specified number is reached, the achievement will be awarded (provided any meta requirements are also met).

If multiple stats are selected, they will all increment the same counter. For instance, if you set up the article_edit and admin_patrol stats with an increment of 10, then each time a user either edited an article OR patrolled a page, the counter would increase by one until it reached 10 at which point the achievement would be triggered. Therefore, a user could edit 10 pages, patrol 10 pages, or any combination of those two actions.

Streak is a set of options that allows you to create achievements linked to repeating actions, or completing certain actions within a given timeframe.

Required achievements
The Required Achievements box displays a list of all achievements existing on the local wiki. Any achievement that is checked in this list will be added as a prerequisite for earning the achievement currently being edited. Achievements can have Meta requirements, Completion Rules, or both.
