Achievement progress
I recently created the "Portal cameras" template for Portal, as you work towards the achievement in quantifiable steps throughout the game. I just thought; is this applicable to other games, and if so, why isn't it a standard template? I propose we create a "Achievement progress" template based off it, and use that instead. -- 08:39, 14 October 2007 (CDT)
 * I've gone ahead and made changes, but I decided to just add parameters to achievement instead of creating a new template. The changes are on its documentation page. -- 12:22, 17 October 2007 (CDT)

Template without gamerscore
Some steam games (audiosurf, PAA) have achievements without gamerscore and 1 steam game (TF2) has some XBLA achievements and some plain ones. Could we get an achievement template without the gamerscore column? Kadir 03:20, 23 June 2008 (CDT)
 * What's PAA? If they don't give points, what do they give? I don't think the  symbol is that specific that it can't be used for other systems, but we could potentially create our own "achievement score" image (anyone feel like taking that one?) -- Prod (Talk) 00:48, 24 June 2008 (CDT)
 * I've added a nog parameter to Achievements Header, which (when passed a non-empty value such as "1") will remove the column. --DrBob (talk) 16:05, 25 June 2008 (CDT)
 * Can't actually remember what PAA was, but it's probably a game. Steam achievements don't give anything, they're just there. Thanks for the nog parameter! Kadir 20:46, 25 June 2008 (CDT)
 * PAA = Penny Arcade Adventures. GarrettTalk 21:01, 25 June 2008 (CDT)

Achievements table, image categorization
Hi, I changed the image and description columns on the achievement tables to unsortable, since pictures don't sort and sorting by description probably won't do anything helpful. I just saw on the main page that achievement images are to only get the Achievement images category, but why is this? If they're associated with a specific game, why wouldn't they be in that game's image category as well? I think I've actually added guide-specific categories to achievement images before, so I'll have to dig around and find them if they need to be changed back. - najzere T 08:17, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Guide-specific sounds reasonable to me. -- Prod (Talk) 20:44, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Trophy images category
Should the project page be updated to include the Trophy images category? Currently it says only Achievement images category should be used, and I'm unclear on whether that's just because it was written without trophy images in mind, or if trophy images were intended to be included in the broader Achievement images category. — najzere T 18:34, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Trophy's are exclusive to the PS3 right? I think a separate category is better, because it's more specific. Or rather, it's more exclusive. I know this article was written prior to or during the release of trophies. Most likely details were excluded because not enough information was known at the time. Wikipedia lists that trophies were released in July 2008, so perhaps there was a huge time lapse (the project was started in April 2007). -- 23:21, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
