**Key features**

- Support for both default and custom badges.
- Hovering over the badge will show a tooltip with the badge’s description.
- Clicking on the badge will take a user to the badge’s overview page

**Usage tips**

- Some default badges contain links in their descriptions. These will not display nicely as a tooltip, so it is recommended to customize the description at `/admin/customize/site_texts`. You can find what you need to modify by searching for part of the description’s current text.
