Some hours ago I was awarded the Good Question badge on Meta Stack Overflow: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/help/badges/21/good-question?userid=1529630

It's a silver badge, but I didn't receive the 925 hat

earn a silver badge

enter image description here

Seems a bug, or is it because meta badges are ignored for hats?

You don't earn hats on Meta sites (this site is an exception), unless the description of the hat mentions this explicitly, as in the case of the I Am Your Father hat:

ask, answer, or vote on the meta site

Even then, you will earn the hat on the main site.

  • Do you have any reference about not earning hats on meta sites?

    @Oriol took a while; see the last paragraph of this answer.

  • @Oriol btw, this is the only site where you can theoretically earn all the hats.

  • @Braiam how does one earn the 'What's up, Doc?' or 'The Never-Ending Story' here?

    @Glorfindel let me correct: this is the only site where you can theoretically earn mosts of the hats without participating anywhere else.
