If I go to [this badge](https://meta.discourse.org/badges/109/amazing-contributor) page (or any other badge that can be used as a title) here on Meta, I see “You can use this badge as title” with a pencil even though I don’t have that badge.

Oh just realized that non-logged in viewers see the same thing.

I don’t think this verbiage is meant to be specific to you the user, but rather to indicate that a badge can be used as a title versus ones that cannot.

Possibly but the edit button should not show in that case.

Fixed per

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/fab3e2510139a4ff7e3fb7e383a29febd53d8383](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/fab3e2510139a4ff7e3fb7e383a29febd53d8383)

We now only show the selector if you can actually select the badge as a title, its still a tiny bit rough, but way less confusing.
