Add an option for "pinned badges" (Feedback from nowiki)
Open, LowestPublic

Description

Users like to show off their awards, and it will probably be popular/usefull to be able to pin badges for those awards somehow.
Not sure if this will need some additional functionality…

The full list of feedbacks can be found on w:no:Wikipedia:Torget#Flow (permalink)

An example on how this can be done is at my own user talk page, that one is a Flow board.

One idea on how to do this could be to identify WikiLove posts, and make those pinnable to the right column. Ie. detect the presence of specific templates and make a copy of those to a specific subpage when they are "pinned".

Perhaps this should be a set of user preferences, where each pinned post is a dynamically generated user preference.
It should be DarnEasy™ to add a pinned post, but at the same time it should not be possible to create fake entries.

I wonder if this should be a separate extension of some sort, and not part of Flow at all. If so, then a list of pinned badges could be created by a parser function and reused on user pages or talk pages as the user h*self choses.
