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)
