Displaying Badges
[edit]Places badges are likely to appear

- Badge pages: display all available badges (unless they're hidden) organized by badge area
- Teahouse guest or host intros: display 5? badges with most recent first. Do users copy/paste their own badges?
What makes a "good" badge

- Is attainable for some subset of the community

What makes a "good" badge collection
[edit]A badge collection is the sum total of all the badges available to be earned. Although it's hard to say what a "good" collection is versus a "bad" one, generally speaking a badge collection should:
- Contain badges that are applicable to the work of the community
- Contain badges that are attainable by at least someone in the community
- Contain badges that are relevant to new users and experienced users
- Contain different types of badges award different types of behaviors and identities
- Be visible and discoverable to badge participants looking to earn a badge (though not all badges need to be displayed).
