I got a lot of my edits by correcting grammar and editing trivia and other things so that they would be more correct. I'm good at editing other people's written work. That is how I became noticed and promoted so quickly. Of course, then I had to learn coding which was very hard for me since I am not good in math. Jens, Nic and Nmtan were always very patient with me and helped me a great deal. I also learned by working on the event pages (even before I was an admin) and by other projects I worked on. There are tons of ways to earn badges. I have very rarely added tags to anything...I have a lot of badges and I built up a good edit count. Some of the work is tedious. But I didn't do the work to get badges. I did it to help the wiki.
