So upon doing some research into the badges I found out that someone must request badges be added to the wikia as they are not automatically available anymore. I can do this if there are enough people interested but I'm not sure it will better this wiki in anyway. I've read about badges HERE and their purpose is to encourage certain types of edits, many of which don't apply to this wiki.

Badges like 'added 25 pictures to pages' are not very applicable because there is not a lot of pictures related these books. Additionally, I could see some (well-meaning) editors adding a ton of pictures to get the badge but the pictures not being useful for the wiki pages and making things too cluttered. There are 36 badges in total and only a few (like number of edits) really make sense for us.

What I think could work well in place of these automated badges is our own badges for edits. I could make these badges available as pictures (on the policy page) based around the Foxfire levels, like mentioned in the above comment. Then each user can add the badges to their own wall independently, trusting that they'll be more or less honest.
