    Sites should be able to opt-out (or maybe even better, only opt-in) though, to prevent the same problems that some Winter Bash hat triggers caused: A lot of unwanted extra moderation load for a tiny community due to a flood of users trying their luck on the site.

    the hard part will be getting people to actually read the sites' /help/on-topic pages.

    The 'newbie point of view' is a complete PITA when you're used to having 'powers'. I'm 'site analytics' level on maybe 7 sites, yet others I can't vtc or see deleted posts… it's just irritating. Ref: meta.stackexchange.com/a/384293/276027

    Hmm, I do like the sound of community community-a-thon. We used some internal tools among staff to create leaderboards, which could maybe even be used here.

    The hard part is the actual asking part. For the community-a-thons I have participated in, I often found myself having a hard time coming up with a question that had not already been asked or something I could answer.

  • Perhaps as part of it, @SpencerG, we can create some materials on how to go about it - e.g., scroll through a relevant Wikipedia page until you find a citation needed and then ask about that.
