TechNet Wiki Awards System - NOVICE WIKI NINJAS

  • Article

We're going to take a deeper look at the TechNet Wiki Awards System... Wiki Ninja Belts.

First are the Novice Wiki Ninjas. This is for ninjas just getting started. The Achievement Medals are pretty easy to get, but placing in the Top Contributors even for one week is a bit of a challenge. It's not as easy as it seems...
