User blog:Pippycat/Tribute of the Month

Hi, Pippycat/Bee here. One of the things I would really like to do is start up tribute of the month again, because I think it will help motivate users to make good tributes, and just be fun overall. Here are some of my ideas, and please, share your thoughts with me down in the comments!

First of all, there should be certain criteria a tribute must meet to become a TOTM. The previous criteria were:

"An appealing name

Detailed and completed information

Some sort of picture

An original idea that hasn't been overdone"

I think we should of course keep those criteria, but maybe add some more. As said on the Tribute of the Month page, admins will look for different things in a tribute. We all like different kinds of tributes. Also, maybe to change it up a bit, if admins can't decide on the tribute to make the TOTM, maybe they can host a vote where other users on the wiki will decide who wins the tiebreaker, just to get the whole wiki involved, since this is really about the wiki (though, since this was run by admins, the voting of course doesn't have to be done). The user of the tribute should be an active user, too, so that they will know they even got an award for their tribute, and that they still care about this wiki and their tributes.

These are just my ideas so far, and I know there aren't that many so far (andt I will add on to this later), but I do think that if the other active admins are willing to, we can start this up again. Please tell me your ideas and discuss in the comments, because I really want to bring this back!
