Not all achievements are unrelated to finishing the main campaign. After all, there are a lot of games which have achievements such as "Beating X level" or "Finishing the game" in the first place.
All I'm saying is that getting X number of stars is finishing the plot-line and getting Y is getting them all. And really, if you're doing Y, which is not necessary to finish the game as it's not an obligatory condition to finish it in the first place, then what would you call it? I wouldn't call it anything but a side-quest in search for completion. The only substantial difference is, that in a matter of speaking, you choose which stars "matter" (As in, which stars are you going to get to finish the game's plot and which stars are you going to ignore)
Thanks for the link, Marioguy! Now let's see what it--
OH MAI GAH

On the subject of collectathons, this is a general problem with most of Retro Studios's titles. Now, I love their games, but there's a less celebrated reason that they're considered the "American Rare."
Near the end of every Metroid Prime game, you had to collect something to move on to the final boss. Unlike most Metroidvanias, these were necessary for completion whether you liked it or not. The artifacts from the first game only had cryptic clues to guide you to them, not even the optional "help" feature would tell you of their existence, and some were so out of the way you'd swear they were bonus items. The Temple Keys were even worse, and one of the reasons I never finished Echoes. Corruption, at least, gave you the opportunity to collect power cells as you progressed. Even their Rare tribute, DKC Returns, was less aggravating about it by making it completely optional except for completionists.

I'm forging a super lance in Fire Emblem. Anyone got any ideas for a name? Besides Gungnir because that's been done to death.
Gáe Bolg. Lúin of Celtchar. Gáe Buide. Gáe Derg.
^^^ Longinus?
Alternately, you could give it a mundane name. Like Steve, or Nancy.
Highwind Lance?
Dragon Lance?
Varil's Lance?
Also, when I get to name items, I do this thing where I name them after historical swordmasters. /predictabo
In case that idea is appealing, though, here are some examples:
Stabby?
Name it the Varilite Lance.
Tonbogiri, Nihongo, Otegine.

This isn't actually very far from the truth, come to think of it.
