Badges are small graphics awarded to users that compete in [[competitions]] or help out the site in some way. However, they originally had a much different purpose.

Adding '''badges''' to a template can be done with [[Template:Badge]] and its equivalents.

=History=
 
−
Back during the [[EZBoard]] (or [[vBulletin]]) era, badges were conceived. They were originally just jokes created by [[Kritter]], for a bit of humour on the boards, and nobody actually took them to heart; they were the Whiner, Complainer, Mr. Serious, Flamer, Stupidity and Annoyance badges. Once this caught on, other users decided to make their own badges for various things, for example being a [[Soveryhappy]] fan, or [[Draco]]'s Ass of MFGG badge, to the point where users had whole armadas of badges to give out, people had dozens in their sigs at a time, and most of which weren't really useful at all.
 
  
−
After a while, users started creating more useful badges, such as winners of the [[Sprite Competitions]]. Some time later, when MFGG transferred to an [[Invision]] board, [[Klobber]] and [[Retriever II]] decided to make badges that promote these positive things, and have them be in the user's profiles. Badges were created using graphics from Paper Mario and awarded for many things.

In the latest board, a system was implemented where the numbering of the competition badges was generated by independent graphics laid over the badge's graphic, to indicate how many badges the user has won (example: "x4"). The result looks like this example: [[Image:Scrx4.jpg]]
