While testing [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-have-more-than-one-owner-of-a-post/62128/14) I discovered a bug. On my dev instance, my primary user (`jomaxro`) had never mentioned a user. One of my test users (`jomaxro_test`) mentioned themselves while editing a wiki post by `jomaxro`. `jomaxro` then received the ‘First Mention’ badge.

Was this a new mention they edited into the post?

Yes it was. More specific repro steps:

1. User A has never earned the ‘First Mention’ Badge.
2. User A creates a post.
3. User A’s post is made a wiki.
4. User B edits the post and adds a mention.
5. User A receives ‘First Mention’ Badge.

Maybe wiki-fied posts should be excluded from the consideration for first mention / first quote / first emoji / first anything else.
