Change Details

- Award a [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/badges/ | badge ]] to a user. - I was expecting the user will get e-mail notification. - Instead, no e-mail notification is sent. There is little point in awarding a user a badge if they are not aware of it. For now, you have to have know how to contact the user outside Phabricator (IRC, Zulip, mail...) and let them know. There is a small chance of abuse for this feature. I'm not sure who can create badges and award them, but there's at least a small chance that an insulting badge could be created and awarded to users. There is at least one user that was [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/badges/view/3/#215 | awarded a badge they didn't want ]]. I'm not sure how they even noticed it.
