Avalor 2.0 - Rewards, CSS and JS, and more!

Avalor 2.0

Hello Avalorans!

We're very excited to announce a big update to the wiki! With a new rail design, new CSS and JS, and a whole new Rewards system, we're finally ready to share this with the community! We also have many smaller updates planned for things like the homepage, the forums and message walls and more!

Contents Rail CSS and JS Rewards

Rail

One of our major redesigns was towards the rail. The modules are now all consistent and have icons. We also added a new Twitter module, which gets tweets from the official Twitter.

CSS and JS

There was also effort towards our community CSS and JS. We've introduced several scripts from the Dev Wiki. These include:

ContribsButtons [CSS]
MinimalistSliderText [CSS]
FandomizedRail (from my personal sandbox) [CSS]
FandomizedBottomNotifications [CSS]
ModernBackToTopButton [JS]
Medals [JS] (more on this later)

Rewards

Now, the most significant update to the wiki. We're introducing a new Achievements-style system called Rewards, based on the Medals script. These have a few advantages over the Achievements system:

They cannot be abused (ex. receiving the lucky 10,000th edit for vandalizing a page, adding/removing useless information for badges, etc.)
Only admins can give out Rewards
Special Rewards can be given out for special events, such as the former MLU project
Rewards will serve as a manner of verification during major decisions (ex. selecting a new admin, disabling a wiki feature, etc.)

Where did my Achievements go?

Don't worry, Achievements are still enabled. (They cannot be disabled by FANDOM Staff anymore.) They are simply not displayed on profiles anymore to direct emphasis onto the new Rewards. If you would like to display your Achievements on your profile, simply click "Expand" and insert the following code into your wikia.css:

/* Display Achievements */
.module.AchievementsModule.UserProfileAchievementsModule {
    display: block;
}

Badge lovers, fear not, you can still receive Achievements as usual. For the competitive type, the leaderboard is also functional.

That's all for now! If you have any comments, suggestions or feedback, feel free to drop by my wall or reply down below!
