I just got annoucer badge for this question.

  • I have never seen this question
  • None of these tags are favourite nor known
  • I don't even know such language exists (or whatever it is)

I didn't find my referal link (https://stackoverflow.com/q/25433/764846) anywhere on google, nor SE sites I visit.. Is that a bug?

    In all seriousness, though, it's possible that someone else mistyped their ID in a referral link...

  • As an aside: linking from within SE-sites won't give you the badge anyway.

If it wasn't you, I can't tell you who the donor was who gave you that present, but someone submitted that question to Reddit with your user ID. It didn't receive much attention there; otherwise you'd probably have received more than a bronze badge…

    @genesis-φ: I have access to a bit more data :) I checked the logs for refer(r)ers for requests going to that link.

    If it had hit the front page with thousands of upvotes, if would still have been a bronze badge, really.

  • @lunboks: That's true. I can't get silver and bronze badges for single question
