The Wiki Awards comprise the honour system of Wiki. Many of them are considered part of the Kindness Campaign and are meant to promote Civility and WikiLove throughout Wiki.
Traditionally, those considered of the highest esteem are those bestowed honoris causa personally by Jimmy Wales, founder of Wiki. Ordered by number of inductees, these are the Order of the Day (5), founded in 2001, followed by Wikimedian of the Year (7), founded in 2011.
Participators of the Wiki community may reward vigorous Wikipedia contributors for their hard work and due diligence by awarding them a fitting barnstar, or other award.
In addition to these virtual awards honour system, editors may nominate someone to receive a gift in the mail as Wiki: Merchandise giveaways from the Wiki Foundation.
If you have questions, WikiProject Wikipedia Awards is a group of volunteers who help guide these pages.
Conferred honoris causa by Jimmy Wales
Order of the Day
The Order of the Day, founded in 2001, may be awarded to a Wiki developer or technical person for exceptional service to the community. It is seldom awarded and may only be bestowed by Jimbo.
Wikimedian of the Year
Wikimedian of the Year (formerly known as Wikipedian of the Year) is an annual award established in 2011 by Wiki's founder Jimmy Wales, traditionally presented at Wikimania to highlight major achievements for Wiki by an individual Wikin. In addition to the main award, "Honorable mentions" has been conferred to selected Wikipedians.
Awards by the Wikipedia community
Editor of the Week
Wiki: WikiProject Editor Retention/Editor of the Week is a recognition award to thank editors for excellent work, established by the Wikipedia community in 2013. The Editor of the Week recognition is intended to demonstrate appreciation of an editor's positive behaviours and collaborative spirit.
Barnstars
Barnstars are used on Wiki to reward users who make outstanding contributions in a particular area. To give someone an award, all you have to do is copy the code from the table onto the talk page of the person you want to give the award to, and tell them why you have given it to them. There are many types of barnstars to choose from; if you are sure your choice is appropriate — don't be shy!
Service awards
Service awards may be self-awarded dependent upon number of contributions and the length of service.
WikiProject awards
A WikiProject award is awarded for substantial contributions towards a particular WikiProject.
Other related awards
Other related awards In addition to barnstars, there are several other awards as well. While barnstars are generally reserved for a long-standing pattern of excellence, the following awards are more often given to honor specific actions or events.
Personal user awards
In the Personal user awards, there is a wide range of awards to choose from, from the "Golden Wiki" award, for users who have made outstanding contributions, to the "Son of Jimbo" award, for users with the last name "Wales". So the next time you think a user has made a significant contribution, or basically anything else, why don't you give them a reward to show your gratitude?
