I completely agree. I know that "trying them out" may be the best solution, but the majority of the wikia doesn't seem to like them, or they just don't care.

I feel like it increases minor and useless edits. Various users are so focused on getting a badge; that's their priority, and they'll resort to various minor edits in order to get one. In addition, I've noticed that the number of images uploaded per day has somewhat increased.

Now, users want to add images to pages to get a badge. This may be a coincidence, but I doubt it. And I really don't think that all of our community's going to agree with disposing of these, but I can tell that most of our most active members as a whole dislike this new system.
