New Reward: 5000+ edits

In the past year, Lachelan has made 8000 edits. Montagna is also about that. And, I'm sure when future editors come by, we'll get another 'lach'.

So, I was thinking, the highest edit count reward we have is 1000, and it seems as if its time to add another one. One which the editor will receive at 5000 edits. What do you guys think? Ruler of the Coasters (talk) 19:11, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. We just need to decide on a name for it... Tera Coaster, Peta Coaster? We'll have to use an image of a coaster that doesn't actually exist if we want it to be represented like all the other ranked-by-height coasters. MontagnaMagica|Talk 21:05, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
That's the problem - the only roller coaster above 500 feet is the Euthanasia Coaster, and it isn't even real. I'm thinking an overhaul may be needed, as it all looks a bit messy at the moment. My idea is to do away with the separate templates we have now and make one template that displays your edit count. As the number rises, your rank changes from Kilo to Hyper to Giga etc.
It could be something like this:
  • 25+ edits: Bronze
  • 50+ edits: Silver
  • 100+ edits: Gold
  • 250+ edits: Platinum
  • 500+ edits: Kilo
  • 1000+ edits: Hyper
  • 2500+ edits: Giga
  • 5000+ edits: Strata
That's my idea, thoughts? You can tell I'm not very imaginative... Lachlan5963 (Talk) 22:40, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

I like that idea. Its not bad. The only problem I can think of with that system is all the work we'll have to do to change all the templates. But, that's nothing major.

Another idea might be 'Extreme member'? Not really coaster-themed, but an idea.

Lachlan, I like your thinking! I'll be sure to change the awards accordingly later tonight. Remind me on Facebook if I forget! :P MontagnaMagica|Talk 00:00, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
