Badges are a huge part of our community.
Our members love them, we’ve added a mountain of custom ones, and they are very much cherished and sought after.
However, whenever we discuss or mention badges we have no nice way of showing them off
A good example here on meta would be the new “Support Enthusiast” badge, which looks great:
But when we link to a badge?
Ohhh boy:
https://meta.discourse.org/badges/140/support-advocate
https://meta.discourse.org/badges/139/support-enthusiast
Links to categories are nicely displayed, here’s now we visualise the Feature https://meta.discourse.org/c/feature/2
Discussion about existing Discourse features, how they can be improved or enhanced, and how proposed new features could work.
Looks great!
Can we please do something with our beloved badges?

I’ve come up with a work around for the poor displaying of a badge link, I now insert a space at the start of the new link so at least now people see a nicer badge description instead of just a URL.
For example, no leading space:
https://meta.discourse.org/badges/140/support-advocate
One leading space:
Discourse Meta
Better
I’m guessing when linking to a badge it’s just following the same principle as if linking to a regular topic or a post

I do like the idea of a swish onebox that includes the Badge image and the description. I’ll put my vote in for it.

Me too, I mean, who wouldn’t
Is there a formal method for getting features on to the roadmap?
Could I throw this out in the wild as a paid-for gig? Then try to get a PR approved for core eventually? I’m unsure of the process or what qualifies something for core
