**SO** has badges that are awarded to users for completing some tasks. I was playing around with [SO Data Explorer](https://data.stackexchange.com) and noticed there is no table for badge definition itself.

So for example if I want to figure out list of users who received a 'Moderation Badge', I need to scrape a list from [Badges](https://stackoverflow.com/help/badges) page then build the query.

Same way if I need to build a page showing list of badges, with explanation of badge and who received it first, again I need to scrape the badges page and build it manually.

Is there a table that holds the badge name, its description, retired status, 
And if there is one, would it be possible to include it in data explorer, please?

Or in other words, how is the [Badges](https://stackoverflow.com/help/badges) made with description and category of each badge. SO is an example and would be nice if I could get badge description for all SE sites.

**Note that**, this is not related to TagBased badges, they are already included in data explorer.
