![]() | This page in a nutshell: A topical barnstar is awarded for contributions to articles concerning a specific topic or area of substantial interest to users of Wikipedia. |
Adding a barnstar to this list
If you don't feel any of these barnstar awards covers the topics you are concerned with, you can always design your own (using these examples, if you like).
If you have any questions concerning barnstars, or would like a barnstar to be added to this list, please see WikiProject Wikipedia Awards - a group of volunteers who help guide these pages.
Barnstars are listed in chronological order, that is, in the order in which they were introduced to the English Wikipedia. Any new barnstars should be added to the bottom of the appropriate section. Note: Barnstars added without consensus may be removed.
