@Mr. Duke: Abuse - cheating for badges just to get on the leaderboard, and/or earning badges without any effort to help the wiki.

If I were you, I shouldn't focus on getting badges. I would actually help the wiki by adding valid content and images and discussing a way to improve the wiki. If all is only focused on badges and not actual editing, we may never consider enabling badges.
