To help celebrate WikiTree's 16thh Anniversary in 2024, we are having a year-long event: 16 for 16!
Contents |
What is 16 For 16?
Below is a list of "missions" participants can choose to complete. The goal is to complete 16 of the missions over the course of the year. This is the 2nd year WikiTree is running this challenge; see last year's 15 for 15 challenge for more info!
Participants who reach the objective will receive a "16 For 16" sticker they can add to their profile to show off their accomplishment. Bonus: There are also milestone stickers for "32 For 6" and "64 For 16" for participants wanting to go beyond 16.
Participating in this challenge helps you get to know more of the features and functions of the WikiTree site and have fun while doing it!
How to Participate
To accept this mission of missions, first go to this G2G post and reply with answer. Something as simple as "I'm going to participate!" works fine.
Then, choose missions from the list below that you want to complete and work on them throughout the year. When you complete a mission, reply to your G2G answer with a comment stating which one you've finished. We will then update the Challenge Tracker to show your progress!
When you've completed 16 missions, post an answer in this G2G post to get the sticker for your profile. If you go on to complete 32 or 64 missions, you can answer in the same post to get those stickers as well.
Darren Kellet created this free-space page with a tracker you can copy and paste elsewhere to document your progress throughout the year. As you make progress and post in G2G, this group 16 for 16 tracker will updated to show your progress.
