I actually believe it is a double-bladed sword. It can be used for good, like above. However, it can also make some editors to treat it like a game. They might make unnecessary edits to get ahead. It is good if it judges quality, but as most are on numbers, it can lead to people who just spam the pages to get high awards. Even though I somehow got a ton of badges, I don't care for them, and only do what I do for the benefit of the wiki. I fixed weapons and powerups for you guys who wish high numbers in badges though (please don't spam them).
