User blog:Gavin the Animal/Categorical Badges

Hey, everyone, it’s me. If you edit a lot, or just come to the wiki in general, then you’ll likely notice that a lot of the badges here are custom categorical badges, and how these work are you get badges by number off edits to an article with a certain category (e.g episodes, characters, certain spin-offs).

I think that these can be very creative, don’t get me wrong, but I’m kinda wondering... is there a need for so much of them? It’s just that with so much spin-off badges, a lot of people likely won’t ever get much of them, since you can’t really make much edits to other people’s spin-offs or spin-offs that you don’t work on.

I can understand atleast stuff like character badges or episode badges and stuff like that, but with spin-off badges, I don’t think we need that much of them. A lot of spin-offs can go rather inactive and not everyone can make much edits to spin-off pages, aside from grammar correction or adding categories.

This is not a proposal, but I just want to know what others think of this. It’s just so weird to go to someone’s badges and see so much bronze badges on an article that they once edited, and I don’t think it makes everything look very polished. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day!
