User blog:Woganhemlock/What's up with the badges?

I logged on to community central this morning, and noticed that badges have been activated. Why, exactly? This will do nothing with the wiki, this is basically a help wiki, with no content other than blogs. All I can see that will happen is people spamming the wiki to receive badges.

So, the real question is, why are the badges enabled?
