It is the custom to award Xenopedia contributors barnstars for significant or especially insightful work and continued dedication to the site. Barnstars were introduced to Xenopedia on November 2nd, 2013 by user Toa Quarax (although user The Cruentus first tried unsuccessfully introducing them August 2nd, 2013). They are meant to promote civility and WikiLove. They are a form of warm fuzzy: they are free to give and they bring joy to the recipient. __TOC__
