User blog:Drew1200/Badges Updates

Hey everyone, we just updated the badges so that there are now five different edit tracks. Users, User Archive, Topic, Forum, and Music/Bands.

We did this for a couple reasons. One, we had way too many badges. It was okay when we had the old ranks, because there weren't as many ranks. But now, there's at least 25 different ranks. We cannot have 25 different edit tracks, that's just way to many. Now, it looks much cleaner.

The second reason is because the old badges caused an unbalanced amount of editing favored towards specific ranks. No one wanted to edit certain pages, because they didn't give badges. That resulted in certain pages being short, outdated, and messed up. Now, nearly all pages will give an equal amount of points, so we hope that it will help users to edit all pages more evenly.
