What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
At the moment it is difficult to know which challenge entries are competing in the Regular League and which are in the Premier League. This makes it hard to judge articles when you're reading them, or to know how well received yours is compared to others. You could make that difference clearer in two ways:- Have the list of entries on the challenge page split by league.
- At the bottom of each article where it says the article is an entry for a challenge, specify which league it is entered in.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
This would make it clearer which entries are competing against each other. By splitting them out you allow easier recognition of those authors who have previously won, and where readers can look for inspiration. You also make it easier for readers to look for those who haven't won and so have (supposedly) less recognition on the site. And it would aid us to find peers who are at a similar stage of worldbuilding/WorldAnvil usage.What are other uses for this feature request?
None that I can think of.Follow up
Yes, that information is already available on authors' profile pages. But it isn't always the easiest to get to (authors I think are only linked in comments, not on the article itself) and you need to know which badges to look for. As this information is already publicly available, why can't it be made more useable? And this isn't just about the contest side of it, but the ability to find your peers. Who are those working at a similar level to you that you can reach out to get to know? Who are those at a higher level who you can learn from how they do things? Who are those who you could offer advice to? Knowing who is in which league would help with that. In my opinion anyway. I do appreciate that not everyone will agree. But every challenge I'm frustrated by not knowing, and it puts me off engaging with other articles.

on 2022-03-03 12:04I know this one is getting downvoted into oblivion, but I wholeheartedly support this. If the Challenges are to remain competitions—and given the consternation around them lately, I'm not sure that they should—then we need MORE transparency not less. Make it obvious which league each article is competing in. Don't hide like counts on the articles, as another suggestion that's gaining traction suggests. Add like counts to the competition page so that everyone can clearly see who is headed for the shortlist and how much work they have to do in order to catch up. And if folks don't want that, then my suggestion is to stop running the challenges as competitions. Stop awarding prizes. If what the community wants the spirit/fierceness of competition to go away, then get rid of the motivation to compete. Set the parameters for earning a badge, award a badge to anyone who meets the criteria, and leave it at that. At this moment, I remain unconvinced there's a middle ground where we have competitions but no one gets stressed about them.

on 2022-02-14 11:33If you really want to know who is in the Premier League, you can view people's profiles. I disagree with treating PL articles and authors different from others, it feels alienating. And you shouldn't be able to at-first-sight see how well you do, since that makes the competition more competitive and less community-uplifting.
