What's a Barnstar?[edit]

Have you seen a 'Joomla! Docs Wiki community member' doing extraordinary work, going above and beyond? Perhaps they created a great article or are making contributions on the wiki tirelessly?

Placing a Barnstar on their talk page is a way of saying thank you and let them know how much their work on the 'Joomla! Docs Wiki' is appreciated.

History[edit]

The barnstar is not unique to the Joomla! Documentation Wiki. Some years ago, some wiki-based communities began to give their users awards called barn stars, using a star anchor to represent the concept of the shared work experience, as in barn raising. You can read more about the concept in Wikipedia.
