Unfortunately, we have no control over thresholds or badge progress. Wikia is fairly limited with badge editing; all custom tracks have to be tied to editing within a specified category, and edit progression is always set to the standard 1-5-10-25-50-100-250 track, and with the same point values across the board. I'm talking to Billy from the DC side, who also happens to be on Wikia staff now, to see if there are any changes we can lobby for, but badges seem to be an afterthought for Wikia.
