Sounds pretty cool, but I agree how people will now just make bunches of pointless edits. Like, for example, you could just go to a page, add a period to a sentence, save it, then edit it again and remove the extra period, save it, put the period back, save it, etc. You'd build up tons of edits for doing nothing.

Also, I agree that past edits should count. I've been trying to help make Goosebumps HorrorLand Wiki a good one, and so far I have 81 edits. But NONE of those go towards the badges? I don't think that's fair.
