I wrote "Project:Achievements" on my wiki just to showcase my badges. It won't be auto-created.

What you should do to upload a badge as you wish it to appear, with no modifications, is:
 * 1) Create the finished badge with any desired frames in an image editor
 * 2) Upload the badge through Special:AchievementsCustomize... it will be edited by Wikia in an undesirable way.
 * 3) Go to Special:Log/upload to find the locations of the files uploaded to your wiki (example: File:Badge-edit-6.png)
 * 4) Upload the finished badge you made to overwrite the existing files (using Special:Upload, as you would any other file), and no modifications will be made to them! Pretty!

I linked my Project:Achievements page so you can skip steps 2 and 3 for most badges. Just use that page to find the location of the badge file on my wiki. It'll be the same location on yours, so feel free to just upload the finished badge to that location (no need to overwrite anything).
