For example the Nice Question Badge page, could have links to the Good Question Badge page and the Great Question Badge page.

This would provide a little better navigation when researching available badges.

    We have a design update for the badges page on the books (no timeline yet, we've been very busy). We'll definitely put this idea in the hopper.

I think this system to match similar tags should work:

  • Every badge should have hidden tags
  • There should be a Similar tags: (or See also:) list containing every badge that have one of the tags from the currently viewing badge

The tag/badge list should be something like:

In addition to a new tag First for the badges that are about the First X (excluding the Enlightened badge)


Here is an example of how the linking works:

In the case of Research Assistant (tags: Tags + Edits), the suggested list should contain some (or all?) badges from the badges tagged as Tags and Edits

I think it is a good idea. Together with some more, deeper explanation. Some badges are clear but others are a bit difficult to understand. It is true that a bit more navigation would be nice.

Also a link to the "badge status" to see your progress.
