| ''Note:'' There is a time delay for **mapper badges**. This is for a bit of data hiding and (some kind of) privacy, as a mapper badge actually indicates, you have played in that place, unlike ruler badges which might go to players who have never been in that particular region, but their badges have been dropped by other players. | ''Note:'' There is a time delay for **mapper badges**.

| ''Note:'' When a **new player** starts playing, their first two regions are "activated" even if there is less activity than would usually be required to award badges. This is to encourage new players and adapt the number of regions locally. | ''Note:'' When **new players** start playing, their first two regions are "activated" even if there is less activity than would usually be required to award badges.

| To determine to which region a quadrant belongs, Badgers actually uses [[:nominatim|OSM service Nominatim]]. Such a mapping can be non unique, i.e. some quadrants overlap two or more regions. To get a one to one correspondence, **the region of the center of a quadrant in the sense of Nominatim** is considered the region a quadrant belongs to. Ah, well, and sometimes, if it is feasible or way too bad, we manually improve Nominatim mappings in our database. | To determine to which region a quadrant belongs, Badgers actually uses [[:nominatim|OSM service Nominatim]].
