What about the effort to make them interesting? The way I see it, retiring them is an easy fix. Keeping them, but "making them interesting" gives whoever wants to do that a permanent chore for the years to come... until they get bored or leave and badges are ignored and stagnate again.

If we are to keep badges, the first and foremost step on making them better should be to remove the Wonder Woman badge. I don't know if it can be done, but considering that any sort of reward for categorization in our system is easily exploitable, it's bound to encourage badge hunters. Not to mention the inequitable distribution of that badge whenever a page with countless categories is fixed after a coding error, resulting in those categories being put in place "again".

The categorization badge... I just don't like it.
