Badges! Welcome to the first More info on... blog post! Today, you will learn how to earn badges (and I might even give tips on how to get some top secret ones)!

Basics
We will start with the basics. First of, there are four different types of badges.

Bronze: The bronze badges award 10 points and are easy to get.

Silver: The silver ones are worth 50 points and can be a bit challenging sometimes.

Gold: These rewards give you 100 points and are hard to get.

Platinum: This reward gives you 250 points and is extremely hard to get. Its so hard that there is only one of them: the Ultimate Contributer badge! It's awarded to the one who edits the wiki every day!

Special Badges
Special badges are custom badges, which can be created by any admin on the wiki. Currently there is the Hollis series, which will be available until 17 August.

Secret Badges
Secret badges are badges that you can't see that they are completeing.

There are three secret badges:

Pounce!: Make 100 edits on a pages within an hour of its creation!

Caffeinated: Make 100 edits on pages in one day!

Lucky Edit: Make the lucky 1000th edit! Every 1000th edit after it will also be awarded with this badge, but with slightly different text.
