In my Badge Progress window I can see I edited 73 posts and it says the next step will be 500, to reach "Copy Editor" badge, bypassing the actual next step that is "Strunk & White", reached after 80 post edits.

I wonder if it's a bug or a desired behaviour? The other progress bars seem to indicate the next step, not the last one.

  • This is desired behaviour.

  • @Martijn, could you provide an explanation of why?

  • Why the other shows the next step then? It is incoherent, in my modest opinio.

  • @FrédéricHamidi: all three badges below that line are fixed. Why would Civic Duty remain unchanged after you reach it, but the badge underneath that one switch from Strunk & White to Copy Editor?

  • @Martijn, because Civic Duty is the last (and first) badge of its kind (total number of votes). On the other hand, Strunk and White is "on the way" to Copy Editor.

  • @AndreaCarrer: Only the first badge, for reviewing, shows progress to two different goals. The other 3 are shared among the various queues as well, which is also 'inconsistent'. But as a group, they are consistent.

  • @FrédéricHamidi: again, that would make that section of the UI inconsistent, creating an expectation that there is a gold badge following Civic Duty.

  • @Martijn, IMHO the inconsistency is already there: review badges do go from Custodian to Reviewer to Steward. (Edit: not sure about Custodian, as I already have all five of them so I cannot test.)

  • @FrédéricHamidi: Custodian is also shown.
