Primary Objective
Edit
To get as many articles to Featured, Class 1 and Class 2 status.
Ranks
Edit

(Please note- ranks may change if needed)
Uniform Colour: User may choose their own colour, as long as all awards are visible
500 points and current leader- Chief of State
500 points- Governor
Uniform Colour: White
350 points- Grand Admiral
250 points- Admiral
High Officer- Uniform Colour: Light Grey
200 points- Grand Moff
150 points- Moff
100 points- High General
Officer- Uniform Colour: Grey
75 points- General
50 points- Commander
35 points- Major
20 points- Captain
10 points- Lieutenant
Enlisted- Uniform Colour: Black
5 points- Officer Candidate
1 point- Ensign
0 points- Trooper
Recruit- Uniform Colour: Red
Recruit- The Recruit rank is for those who have 0 points, and have not made a successful report. Recruits will be left in the army for two months. If they do not make a report within that two month period, they will be removed entirely, instead of being put in the "MIA" section. For a former recruit to accepted back into the army, they must make a successful report upon signing up, and will then be reinstated as a Trooper.
Temporary Recruit- This rank is for recruits which were removed after two months of inactivity, but wish to join a special F12 event (such as the F12 Olympics). This rank gives them a temporary reinstatement to the army so that they may participate in the event. During this time, they may be promoted if they make successful reports, like any other recruit. The only difference with this rank is if they still hold the rank at the end of the event, they will be removed from the army immediately (not after a two month period). Temporary recruits are symbolised by a black dagger (†).
Other Uniform Colours
Light Brown- Retired (Ret.)- User has left Brickipedia or resigned from the army. Retirement will be assumed for users who have not made an edit to the wiki for more than three months.
Brown- Missing in Action (MIA)- User has not reported in for over two months.
If a user rejoins the army or reports in after a two month period, their previous awards, rank and uniform colour will be reinstated. However, retired or missing users will be placed at the bottom of the list, and when reinstated, will go to the bottom of the "active users" section.

Other Divisions
Edit
Cligra's Commandos (CC)
Edit
For targets, please see here.
Cligra's Commandos, formerly CJC's Commandos, is a division of the army is dedicated to eliminating specified redlinks, by creating needed pages that don't currently exist. The Commandos are led by Division Commander Cligra, and the specified targets can be found on this blog. Only pages listed on this blog will be eligible for points. You will need both speed and skill to be successful in this area- if you create a page, it will need to be of a decent standard (able to be rated at least Class 4). For every removal of a specified redlink, you will be awarded a "hit", and it will be added to your uniform. However, these "hits" will not affect your overall rank. Insignia for Cligra's Commandos is kept separate to the other insignia- if your "uniform" was being worn, the standard F12 insignia would be located over the left side of your chest, whereas this insignia would run down your right arm.
Insignia
Edit
☆ - Division Commander, awarded to Cligra, who provides the list of redlinks (so is obviously unable to participate).
✧ - Division XO (Executive Officer), awarded to former commander CJC95, who still has the ability to provide the occasional sets of targets.
— - Awarded for removing a specified redlink.
V - Used to represent five hits.
X - Used to represent ten hits.
L - Used to represent fifty hits.
C - Used to represent one hundred hits.
Project Snipers (PS)
Edit
The current BrickiProject is Brickipedia:Project Harry Potter 4-6
The Project Sniper division of the army is dedicated to assisting with a specified BrickiProject. Every month, a new project will be allocated, and the first user to get five articles in the project to at least Class 2 status will be awarded a purple dagger.
- To be eligible to have points counted towards a purple dagger, you must have signed up to the respective project before getting the article to a Class 2 standard or higher.
- Articles must be specifically listed on the current project page to count towards a purple dagger.
- You may claim standard F12 points for getting one of these articles to Class 2 status along with claiming a point towards a purple dagger. However, please indicate that the article is within the scope of the current project.
- It will be the first user to report five articles on this blog that will receive the purple dagger, so be sure to report them as soon as possible.
- Points can only be awarded from the time that the project is selected.
- A project will only be selected if it has more than five articles below Class 2 standard. If there are more than five articles below Class 2 standard when the project is selected, but all articles are promoted to Class 2 standard before a user reaches five points, the user with the highest number of points at that time will be awarded the purple dagger. If there is a tie on points, the first user to reach the tied score will receive the award. In all other cases, the dagger will only be awarded if five points are reached.
- In addition, when a user promotes an article to Class 2 status when it is listed in the current project, a "bonus" purple dot will be awarded. Ten of these dots can form a bonus point in the F12 Army, represented by a purple square. Simply mention that the article is within the scope of the current project when reporting it, and the dot will be awarded along with the standard Class 2 badge. These dots do not expire like the counters, and can be gained over the course of several projects. Bonus does not apply to any part or inventory articles listed in a project.
AD Company
Edit
Within the Project Snipers is the AD (Article of the Day) Company. Every day, at 0:00 UTC (or as near as possible), an article will be posted in the comments section. Until 0:00 UTC the next day, this article will be valid for PS points just like any other article within the Project Snipers.
Insignia
Edit
- Awarded for writing ten articles that have achieved Class 2 Article Status, and were promoted when it was within the scope of the current Project Snipers Brickiproject. Value: 1 point.
• - Awarded for writing an article that has achieved Class 2 Article Status, and was promoted when it was within the scope of the current Project Snipers Brickiproject. Ten of these are equal to one point.
† - Purple dagger- awarded to the user who first promotes five articles to Class 2 standard in a specified BrickiProject.
º - Used as a counter towards five points. The first user to five points will receive a purple dagger. These counters are removed every time a new project is selected. As they are only used for counters and are not a permanent rank, they are not present an the uniform.
Updater Fleet (UF)
Edit
Usually before the release of every wave of sets, there are a number of articles which currently hold a Class 2 status or higher, and should be updated (a common example would be when licensed minifigures have new variants released). However, it is common for these articles to not have new information added to them. The Updater Fleet is a division dedicated to fixing up such articles. Simply find an out of date Class 2, Class 1 or Featured article, and add in any information that is required for the article so that it can technically hold its respective class, and points will be awarded. Like the main army, a significant amount of content expansion must be done, for example adding a single set to a list on a Class 2 year article to make it complete is a good thing to do, but will not get you points here. Some articles which have been identified to be in need of updating are listed here, but any article Class 2 or higher which does need updating can be reported. You must be a member of this BrickiProject to be eligible for UF points.
You will receive one point for updating a Class 2, Class 1, or Featured Article. Part articles will not be included in this, however ten updated inventory articles will be equal to one point. Articles must already be at Class 2/1/FA before updating to be eligible for UF points.
The update itself must bring the article back up to the same Class as it was originally rated to be eligible for points. For example, if an article was originally rated as Class 2, then due to a lack of updating should be at Class 4, and an update brought the article up to a Class 3 standard but not quite at Class 2, the article is not eligible for points until a Class 2 standard is achieved. This excludes cases where absolutely everything that can be updated has been updated, for example a new variant of a helmeted minifigure, where the face is unknown, but every other feature is fully described.
Insignia
Edit
A gold bar will be awarded when you update an article, about six rank squares wide. This bar will have added to it small black stripes, with different thicknesses indicating different numbers of articles updated.
- The bar received upon entering the Updater Fleet. All UF marks go inside this bar. On a uniform, this bar is positioned below any rank squares but above any dots.
- Awarded for updating one article.
- - used to represent one inventory article updated. Ten of these are worth one UF mark.
The number of articles you update will have a slight effect on your overall rank, with a "U" rank being added onto the end. For example, "Commander, U1" will indicate that the user has between 50 and 74 points, and has updated between 1 and 4 articles.
U-ranks are as follows:
- U8- 100 articles updated
- U7- 75 articles updated
- U6- 50 articles updated
- U5- 35 articles updated
- U4- 20 articles updated
- U3- 10 articles updated
- U2- 5 articles updated
- U1- 1 article updated
Special Divisions
Edit
There are special divisions of the army, dedicated to writing reviews, guides and customs. These divisions are separate, but affiliated with the F12 army, and have their own pages and facilitators.
The RGI Division, which focuses on reviews and guides, is run by Captain Jag. Its division has its own ranking system and rewards.
The Custom Cadets is a division focusing on customs, and is run by Power Jim and CzechMate. Like the RGI Division, it has its own system and awards.
I-Squad is a division still currently under construction. Its currently only has one task- correctly tagging images- but will be expanded in the future to cover a wider variety of maintenance tasks.
For customs, please visit the Custom Cadets page
Note to those running the special division blogs- if blogs are not updated at least once every two weeks, links to your blog may be removed. This of course excludes cases where the owners of the blogs have stated that they will be inactive for a significant period of time.

Long-service awards
Edit
Please note- it's probably going to take me some time to calculate the times for each user. Sorry for the delay
⏣ - Awarded to users for their loyalty to the F12. Members will be awarded one of these for every year that they been a member. (Please note- any period of time that a user has been marked (or should have been marked) as "MIA" or "Retired" will not be counted towards a year of participation)
Signing Up/Reporting
Edit
- To sign up, simply let me know you want to join in the comments section below.
- Please note: In the group picture, male minifigures based upon the Imperial Officer are used by default. If you would like a female minifigure, one based on Juno Eclipse is available, so please let me know if you would like this instead. However, aliens will not be permitted into the army (because they can't wear hats).
- To report an article, also leave a comment below, and please link to your changes to the article if possible.
- Making only minor changes to an article, such as adding a link or correcting a couple of minor mistakes will not result in any award, the contributions must be fairly significant.
- Simply successfully nominating an article for C2/C1/FA status does not get you any award, you have to actually contribute to the article's content itself.
- For Class 2 articles, if a review of the article's rating is launched within a week of the article's promotion and the end result is the removal of this article's status, then the corresponding badge will be removed.
- If you have helped to promote an article to C2/C1/FA status in the past, you may report them also, as long as the article still currently holds that rating or higher.
