IMP NOTE: discrepancy betn WT & G2G profiles re: display of badges (how many)

Question

My G2G profile displays no more than 5 badges.  I have 7.  None are hidden.

Hi Juli,

Everything is peachy :)

Only the first 5 badges you move to the top of your badge list will be displayed on your G2G profile, and up to 20 on your WikiTree profile.  Congrats on the 7 badges!

Have a super day!

Hi Juli

There's a button beneath the five badges - says 'all badges for ???'

Keith, why is the G2G limitation different from WT?  And why no notice to the user?

Hi Juli,

The 5 badges on the G2G feed isn't a new thing. It's been like that for awhile, if not forever :)

Answer 1

This is not a bug. It's just that your G2G profile only shows your first five badges. Your person profile only shows your first 12, I think is. Your badges page, linked from both profiles, shows your full list.

I now understand that 'this isn't a bug -- it's intentional': there is, by design, a discrepancy between WT and G2G profiles regarding which and how many badges are displayed.

So I am downgrading the title of this posting from a BUG REPORT to an IMP NOTE, and I will annotate the original posting to indicate that this is a design issue, not an implementation issue.  

Why 'issue'? Because it violates the Principle of Least Surprise.
