It's not called badge spamming, it's more like point farming. It's when a user can make one edit to a page, and add everything they need to, but decides to add the information one word at a time. In order to earn more points and expand their badge collection.

In the case of categories, you can go into a page, remove the unwanted categories and replace them with new ones in one edit. Or if you have removed all the categories, you can add several new categories in one go. There is no need to add categories to the same page one at a time.
