Discourse Gamification

Is it possible to somehow manually reset or rewrite the Leaderboard URL? In our case we tested some leaderbaords, deleted them later.

E.g. /leaderboards/5 to /leaderboards/1.

Is it possible to award points to a user as an extra reward?

How to adjust gamification points without retroactively updating point values for old score-able actions

Problem statement If you use the Discourse Gamification Plugin to award users points for contributing to your community, you may have come across a need to adjust point values based on emerging trends. In the SailPoint Developer Community, we use the Gamification Plugin to power our Ambassador program. Users who make valuable contributions to our community earn points which in turn are used to determine the level of perks they receive. As our community has grown and the number of contributions…

I enabled this plugin in admin, but the leaderboard tab did not automatically appear. I also added new leaderboards, but they did not show up. Why is this happening? Where should I look for these leaderboards?

[NateDhaliwal]

I think you have to add them to the sidebar yourself . The leaderboards are at /leaderboard, /leaderboard/2, /leaderboard/3 etc.

Is it possible to create a leaderboard for a specific category or tag?

[tobiaseigen]

Leaderboards are tied to groups. But you can specify which categories affect all the leaderboards in the gamification settings. Seems like an interesting idea to move that to the leaderboard, to for example have a Support leaderboard here in this community.
