What can I do if I am struggling to find alternates for the alternates mission in The Initiates Program?

If you are struggling to find alternates to sort during your alternates mission in TIP, please get in touch with your TIP Supervisor.
The TIP Supervisor will lend you a hand by providing a question or two with bad alternates. Though it is best to try and find these yourself to show your ability to recognise questions with messy alternates.

Do alternates I split before I joined The Initiates Program count towards my splitting alternates mission total?
No, alternates that you split before joining The Initiates Program do not count towards your total for the splitting alternates mission. Similarly, any alternates that you split whilst on a previous mission do not count towards your total either. It is only the alternates that you split from the start date of your mission that count towards the mission. You can check how many alternates you have split by clicking on "My contributions" on the blue menu and filtering to "Alternates (other)".
When can I start my first mission for The Initiates Program?
You can begin your first mission once you receive the details of the mission on your message board from Zapallar. You will receive this mission once you have confirmed that you wish to be in the program and you have been accepted. This message will contain your mission start date. Anything that you do for the mission before that date will not count towards the mission.
Do questions I answered before I joined The Initiates Program count towards my answer questions mission total?

How do you earn badges in The Initiates Program?
When you join The Initiates Program you will be given a program badge for your profile. This is displayed in the badges section of your profile and cannot be edited by yourself.

This means that you are free to edit their position by editing your profile.

Why are loads of people congratulating me for my progress in The Initiates Program?
When you complete a mission in The Initiates Program (TIP) your completion is posted to the Community Outreach Program. Community Outreach is composed of WikiGuides whose job is to congratulate members on their achievements around the site. They are friendly members of the community who want to make you feel welcome and appreciated. See the related link for more information on Community Outreach.
Can I apply to join The Initiates Program or must I be invited?
You are free to apply to join the program. If you would like to join then send a message to the program staff, either Xnicola or Skullcandy88. They will review your contributions to make sure you meet the requirements and then set you up with your program badge and first mission.
During the recategorise mission in The Initiates Program does it count if I categorise questions from the uncategorised category?
Yes! It is perfectly fine to categorise questions from the Uncategorised category for this mission. By doing so you are helping lots of questions be answered quicker because they are in their correct category where they can be seen by an expert in that area.
When I do splitting missions do alternates I split for SPA tasks get counted towards the TIP task too?
Yes. Any alternates you split for any other programs can also count towards your TIP mission total.
I don't like a certain mission in The Initiates Program so can I skip it?
Unfortunately not, no. In order to graduate and become a supervisor, you need to demonstrate that you have the ability to use the basic tools, before we give you the supervisor tools. However you may be able to discuss with your TIP Supervisor the possibility of coming back to the mission another time. Always talk to your TIP Supervisor if you need help - that is what they are for.
