As someone who hails from multiple Wikis that utilize badges, I'm completely against the idea of using them here. While they might stimulate edits, they always cause users to "badge hunt," the act of making tons of nonsensical and/or unnecessary edits just to achieve badges. My say in this may pale in comparison to the opinions of established admins, but I have first hand experience experience as a mod of this event occuring frequently.
