In Wikidata there is an open bug to implement badges (see email below by
Lydia), with the open question if this should be handled by the Mediawiki
software itself or in some other way. "Template: Link FA" and
"Template:Link GA" is the system currently used in all Wikipedias [1]
In addition to this, during the Wikimania Open Access project panel [2][3]
there were some suggestions about how to engage the scientific community to
contribute more content to Wikipedia. Apparently one major blocker is the
lack of credit attribution in collaborative environments. By being able to
attribute credit to major contributors of featured/good articles,
scientists could (voluntarily) link their Wikipedia profile to an external
authoring organization who would aggregate these contributions to their
standard journal-based ones.
According to Denny, once SUL is in place, it should be possible to link
Wikidata items representing authors both to their wikimedia profile and to
any external authoring organization representing their identity. However,
the information that this would provide would be of little use unless the
api could provide a list of "featured contributions".
Any thoughts or ideas about these issues?
Cheers,
Micru

Subject: [Wikidata-tech] badges support - decision needed?
To: Wikidata technical discussion <wikidata-tech(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hey :)
It seems that badges support is stalled on a decision about how
exactly to define the set of available badges if I read
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40810 correctly. Can we
make a decision and move forward? It's the most voted on bug we have.
Cheers
Lydia
