[Discussion] Phabricator Badges
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Phabricator got a new feature - badges, which can be awarded to users for distinguishing contributions, official positions, or whatever other reason we might think up.

I'm curious what others think about the feature, and whether we should make use of it for people with specific roles, contributions, administrative roles, or ???

Feedback appreciated.

This is a prototype application and what comes closer to documentation can be found at https://secure.phabricator.com/T6526

I like the idea in general, and the only thing I would avoid was to create a dozen badges for starters. Instead, we can implement new badges progressively as we find new good ideas for them. A first one could be "Phabricator admin".

Ok I created phabricator admin badge, plus the obligatory bugwrangler badge for @Aklapper

I disagree, and think they should be turned off until further discussion, There is no reason to segregate users like this unless we come up with further guidelines on usage cases

Nor do we badge users on our other services such as the Wikis.

Those are not badges that display next to your username everywhere…

Then how about badges, but which are only visable on each user own "profile"?
