The item ID stands for the badge, the label of the item is the label for the badge. There is no need to connect them. Or am I misunderstanding something?

For the images - yes, a message is a good idea.

OK, that also came up in the IRC, and is reasonable. One thing left: how to connect badges with their item ids and images?
Allow that to be set in some mediawiki message?
