Badges are basically signs of achievements a user gains for completing the task provided. It's a reward system that allows our members to see how well they're doing. Generally you earn them by doing what a badge says, like for leaving me a message you might have just earned one. They range from edit count to trivial things like making a blog post or talking to other wiki members. Each badge usually tells you how it's earned on your userpage if I recall.

When earning a badge, it will show up on your page, as well as in a tab that pops up to announce it, and on the Wiki Activity page.

However, I should inform you now that badge hunting is a forbidden and ban-able crime on most wiki. That's basically when a user wants badges and makes spam or multi-edits; spams other users, makes blank blog posts, etc. So I'm warning you now that you shouldn't try to do that because we will find out XD
