I'm trying to get someone to help write a blog about noob tips/beginners guide at the moment. Hopefully we will be seeing some within the next few weeks.

About the badges, actually I was thinking about whether to disable it the other day. To be honest I'm not sure they will actually help increase the number of contributions because from what i see they have encouraged more people to do things like making unneeded new page and randomly adding pages into categories just to earn more badges. Most of the pages on this wiki the categories are added automatically when templates are applied. I just discussed about it on another wiki the other day and it seems like most contributors don't actually go after them.
