Revision as of 17:28, 24 December 2021
Introduction by Bilorv:
A series of off-beat and very difficult editing challenges, initially designed in August 2021. Some I had already completed at the time of creation and some may never be achieved in Wikipedia's history. Everyone is encouraged to add themselves to the list of winners, and suggestions for more challenges will be met with delight at my talk page. Make any bold rewording improvements you like too.
By sharing these challenges, I trust my fellow volunteers to maintain their usual levels of maturity and decorum when aiming to complete them; all policies, guidelines and community norms still apply.
Particular thanks goes to Ezlev for Centenarian, Librarian, and the bonus for Decadent; to Urve for Polyglot; to Theleekycauldron for Hooker and Diplomat; and to Premeditated Chaos for Well-dressed.

Notes
- ^ Expanding from redirect is okay; must be an article (or list) when you create it, not a disambiguation page or redirect. Pick either the default sort or order of the verbatim title.
- ^ a b c The credit must be for content creation and not just nomination—in technical terms, a DYKmake rather than DYKnom credit.
- ^ No mixing and matching! Choose one of the sections.
- ^ From "Agriculture, food, and drink" to "Warfare". That is, "Miscellaneous" is not required. Quickfails count; Wikipedia:Good article reassessment does not.
- ^ It doesn't have to remain at that length. See Special:LongPages.
- ^ Deprecated namespaces and the "transwiki" pseudo-namespace (but no other pseudo-namespaces) count.
- ^ The edits are measured over the total account activity, and not over a single week.
- ^ Today's featured article, In the news, Did you know?, On this day, Today's featured list and Picture of the day are the six possible sections.
- ^ There are 15 pair combinations:
Combinations
- Africa and Asia
- Africa and Europe
- Africa and North America
- Africa and Oceania
- Africa and South America
- Asia and Europe
- Asia and North America
- Asia and Oceania
- Asia and South America
- Europe and North America
- Europe and Oceania
- Europe and South America
- North America and Oceania
- North America and South America
- Oceania and South America
- ^ The tie needs to be close enough that it falls under the scope of "WikiProject [Country Name]".
- ^ Any definition of "country" that includes every current member state of the United Nations is okay.
- ^ An article can only be counted for one country, and the tie needs to be close enough that it falls under the scope of "WikiProject [Country Name]".
- ^ Very loosely interpreted: any headwear is a hat; anything that covers the torso is a top; anything that covers the legs is a type of bottoms; anything covering feet is shoes. If the connection is clear then it doesn't have to be exactly a garment—Skirt (song) counts as bottoms. Ask on the talk page about edge cases.
