Yeah, since I'm an admin at another wiki, I myself activated that badge system. It seems this wiki hasn't activated that feature yet, and only admins get the privilege to activate or deactivate it.

It's actually good that it can motivate contributors. But it also has some bad effect. One example, people spam/troll/vandalize in order to get badges/achievements. You know, some kind of attention-seeking people.

But overall, I'm agreed for it to be activated :)
