I asked recently if there was a way to reset the badges so that everybody can start over. I got the answer back that once they are activated, it can't be reset. Even if the badges are turned off and back on, everyone keeps their badges and points. This wiki is about to start over, so it would have been nice to reset the badge count at the same time.

Based on this, it's going to take about 4000 or 5000 edits by a person starting out to hit the #1 spot. It's a lot, but there is a lot to do on this wiki to bring it back up to where it should be. We're about to begin that process.
