User:KerrMcF/Achievement Drafts

The following is a list of current achievements re-written to match a hypothetical standardised formatting. This page is not linked to the main content of the wiki and should not be used as the standard page for achievements. I am not looking for comments or feedback on these re-writes at this stage.

Land geohash achievement

Template:Land geohash

This user earned the Land geohash achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Land geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash positioned on land. This achievement is the oldest and most basic of the achievements, but is still highly unattainable to those who live on small islands in the middle of the ocean. Whilst it is perhaps the most easily attainable, it is usually a geohasher's first achievement and is something to be proud of earning.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. No additional proof is required for this achievement, as most expeditions are assumed to take place on land unless stated otherwise.

Bicycle geohash achievement

Template:Bicycle geohash

This user earned the Bicycle geohash achievement by cycling to the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Bicycle geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash by bike. The usage of a car, public transport, or any other vehicle which is not entirely powered by yourself is not allowed. Unicycles, monocycles, tricycles, and scooters may also earn you this achievement, as may skateboards and longboards, as long as they are not electric. You may also wish to consider if the Skate geohash achievement applies to your expedition.

If your expedition begins and ends at the same point and your expedition route never crosses or touches itself, you may have also earned the Tron achievement; your bicycle has become a Light Cycle!

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Additionally, you should provide a photograph or track log of your route, demonstrating that it took place via bicycle.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Bicycle geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Bicycle geohash achievement.

Only the expedition with the longest total distance should be listed for each user, resulting in each user having only one listing. The list should also be sorted in descending order of total distance cycled. Feel free to add expeditions shorter than your longest total distance to the Bicycle geohashes page.

Entries marked with a * involved public transport, which has not been included in the total claimed distance.

Public transport geohash achievement

Template:Public transport geohash

This user earned the Public transport geohash achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]] using public transit.

The Public transport geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash by bus, train, subway, or other mass transit. Using any motorised individual transport - such as a car, taxi, or motorbike - invalidates this achievement. You do not have to reach the geohash whilst onboard your choice of public transport, but it must be involved at some point in your expedition. You may also be eligible for the Water geohash achievement if you reach the geohash whilst you are on a ferry or other maritime transport.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Additionally, you should provide a photograph of the mode of public transport you used in your expedition, or a photograph of any tickets you may have purchased.

Winners

Graticule unlocked achievement

Template:Graticule unlocked

This user earned the Graticule Unlocked Achievement by being the first to reach any hashpoint in the [[{{{latitude}}},{{{longitude}}}|({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}})]] graticule, here, on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Graticule unlocked achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash, and are the first to do so in that graticule. Not to be confused with the Earliest geohasher achievement, the Graticule unlocked achievement can only be claimed by the first ever to reach a geohash in each graticule. As such, this achievement is only available once per graticule, and will become more difficult to achieve as time goes on. 'Achievement completionists' coming late to geohashing will potentially have to consider venturing to Antarctic or oceanic graticules.

Until 2024, the Graticule unlocked achievement was called the 'Virgin graticule achievement', and references to this name may still be found in expedition reports across the wiki.

Who's on First?

The achievement can only be claimed by the first person to reach a geohash in a graticule with the knowledge of it being the geohash for that day. If you happened to have been at a past geohash without knowing at the time, you cannot claim this achievement (but if you revisit this place, you may be eligible for the Déjà vu geohash achievement). Every person who is part of the first group to reach the geohash, or who arrives whilst the first group is still present, may claim this achievement. The geohasher(s) should document their success on the wiki, and should add a reference to their expedition to the graticule page itself.

In addition to this, it would benefit the wiki as a whole if the geohasher(s) edited the graticule page to add some information, potentially including a photograph representative of the general area. Even if your attempt at this achievement is unsuccessful, your additions to the graticule page will be greatly appreciated.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. No additional proof is required for this achievement, as it is easy to check via the wiki whether the expedition was the first within its graticule or not.

Consecutive geohash achievement

Template:Consecutive geohash - Displays the number of consecutive coordinates reached, the original ribbon.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching {{{count}}} consecutive hash points starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

Template:Consecutive geohash 2 - Displays the number of consecutive days.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching hash points on {{{count}}} consecutive days starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

Template:Consecutive geohash 3 - Displays the number of coordinates reached and consecutive days.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by reaching {{{hashcount}}} hash points on {{{daycount}}} consecutive days starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

Template:Consecutive geohash 4 - Displays the number of geohashes attempted, coordinates reached and consecutive days.

This user earned the Consecutive geohash achievement by attempting {{{expeditioncount}}} hash points on {{{daycount}}} consecutive days and reaching {{{hashcount}}} of them, starting on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Consecutive geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach at least one geohash for multiple consecutive days. You should only claim this achievement when you improve your personal best for the number of consecutive days. As this achievement requires you to reach geohashes on multiple days, you must have a minimum of two successful expeditions. There are four ribbon variants, all of which can be seen above, and all of which display different measures. Retrohashes do not count towards your consecutive streak.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Since you are also required to achieve multiple consecutive days, you should ensure that all expeditions within this period have the appropriate proof.

Winners

The following is a list of geohashers who have claimed the Consecutive geohash achievement and added themselves below. For a complete list of pages containing this achievement ribbon, see Category:Consecutive geohash achievement. You are awarded one 'hash-mark' (#) for each consecutive day that you reach a geohash. Reaching multiple geohashes in a single day does not give you any extra 'hash-marks', but it will qualify you for the Multihash achievement.

Minesweeper geohash achievement

Template:Minesweeper geohash

This user achieved level {{{ranknumber}}} of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement by visiting coordinates in [[{{{graticule}}}]] and {{{ranknumber}}} of the surrounding graticules.

Claremont, NH	Concord, NH	Portland, ME
Springfield, MA	Example	Lynn, MA
Hartford, CT	Providence, RI	Cape Cod, MA

The Minesweeper geohash achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash in any one graticule and in any of the eight graticules that surround it. A complete Minesweeper geohash achievement involves successfully reaching a geohash in all eight of the surrounding graticules.

The eight surrounding graticules could also be referred to as the graticules directly north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest of the central graticule, such as they would appear on the map on a graticule's page (the Boston graticule is shown on this page as an example). The central graticule does not have to be your home graticule, but can be any graticule of your choosing. The geohashes that are a part of your Minesweeper do not have to be achieved in any particular order or within any specific time period.

It is important to note that there are no 'free squares' within the 3-by-3 grid, all graticules must have at least one geohash reached in order to complete the achievement. Whilst it is perfectly acceptable to geohash in a graticule consisting primarily or entirely of ocean, it is suggested that you choose a central graticule which will avoid the requirement of an ocean-going vessel to complete your Minesweeper.

You may also be interested in the N-in-a-row achievement, which is earned by successfully reaching a geohash in multiple graticules in a row. A completed Minesweeper geohash achievement will have earned this achievement a minimum of eight times.

Ranks

Due to the nature of certain areas, this can be an incredibly challenging achievement to fully complete. In order to give relief and encouragement to those who have not yet completed the full achievement, there are a series of ranks with corresponding ribbons to allow for the progress towards completing the Minesweeper to be demonstrated.

• Level 1 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any one of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 2 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any two of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 3 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any three of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 4 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any four of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 5 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any five of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 6 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any six of its adjacent graticules.
• Level 7 - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus any seven of its adjacent graticules.
• Minesweeper - Reach a geohash in any graticule, plus all eight of its adjacent graticules.

After successfully completing the Minesweeper geohash achievement, some users have went on to reach a geohash in every graticule adjacent to the nine needed for their original Minesweeper, effectively creating a 5-by-5 grid of geohashed graticules, or a 'Super-Minesweeper'. This is a very difficult additional ranking for this achievement, and earning this deserves a large amount of respect and recognition.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. Since you are also required to achieve a success in the surrounding graticules, you should ensure that all of the expeditions within this region have the appropriate proof.

Drag-along achievement

Template:Drag-along

This user earned the Drag-along achievement by reaching the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

The Drag-along achievement can be claimed when you successfully reach a geohash with a friend/acquaintance who is not a geohasher themselves. The person you bring to the geohash must attend of their own free will, but they are not required to know what the purpose of your expedition is. If you send someone to a geohash but do not personally attend it, you do not qualify for this achievement, but you may be interested in the Puppet master geohash achievement.

Proof

As this achievement requires you to reach the coordinates, standard proof should be provided. You should also provide a photograph or some other kind of proof showing that you brought someone to the geohash with you.

Winners
