Yeah, it's been three days so far, no. We're discussing a mass expansion to this wiki, it'll probably take a little more than three days to work out all the potential issues. Unlike the previous ideas, we can't go into this blindly.

Meanwhile, how about a no to those badges. Trying to prevent users from editing for badges is irritating and pretty much against the "assume good faith" policy, especially since there's so many ways users can go about such other than the blatantly obvious methods. Not to mention that badges can go against their very purpose of encouraging users to edit. Take this wiki for example. New users can easily come to this wiki, edit for the bronze badges, see the leaderboard, and quit because the stakes are immensely high. And then what's so magnificent of editing a comma or your userpage every day for say two months, or a month even? How does that help the wiki? I get the fact that it's dedication and such but I find badges a half-thought out plan on Wikia's part.
