I would like to create new badges and I found [this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/badge-sql-can-no-longer-be-edited-by-default/47894).

What I actually want to do is to create new badges that are given to the users who make contributions in a specific category.

I know I can create new badges in the badge section in admin but I have no idea how I can set up the conditions to grant the badges to users, or the automation of granting the badges.

Can you please tell me what to start?

Thanks
