Why did I get a welcome message informing me I'd get a badge for taking the tour, if that badge is not active?

Question

When I signed up I received a welcome message specifically indicating I should take the tour to earn my first badge:

Clicking the message takes me directly to the meta site's tour.

However, as previously discussed, the 'Informed' badge is not active here on meta.

Shouldn't the wording of the welcome message be altered if a user signs up on a site which does not use this badge?

Answer 1

The badge will be enabled on meta with the next build.

It was originally held back because we didn't have the updated /tour page here, but now that it's live and behaving largely like the tours on other sites, there's no need to prevent the badge from being easily achievable.
