Microbadge Fixes

This page is intended to be a useful place to help the Microbadge Admin in his work. There is currently no system for submitting corrections to microbadges, and individual requests for fixes can get lost in the general conversation about microbadge design and submissions. Requests for fixes to existing microbadges can instead be raised here. This has the advantage of forming a single point for corrections, reducing the risk of duplicate requests, and being open to any user.

For discussion on microbadge fixing, please refer to the Fixes and Clean-up for Existing Microbadges thread.

For information on hidden microbadges, please refer to the Hidden Microbadges wiki page.

Legend: (when adding new fixes to the list, please don't include any symbols, just leave that column blank, thanks)
