The Badges of Trust are special tokens which you can use to display on your userpage. The badges shows to new or inexperienced members that you can, and will, offer help when they need to. The Badges of Trust will be used by both the staff and members in order to promote efficency, and the BoT must not be used for personal ego and must only be used for its designated purpose. Keep in mind this is NOT required, this is optional.
To use the badges, simply place {{Badge of Trust|s{{{stage_number_here}}}}} and {{BoTStages|{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}}} on your userpage.

- The badges can only be used to show that you can help out new or inexperienced members, and the level of skill which you can help them with. The Badges of Trust are in no way a way to boast ego or show off. If this occurs, the Badges of Trust will either be removed or downgraded by a PR staff.
- The Wiki Staff and PR Staff will decide whether you will ascend to the next stage. However, you may not continously bother the staff to upgrade your staff or check whether you have helped a new member. Doing so would show that you simply want the badge and it will not be tolerated. The only time when you can contact a PR or Wiki staff about a higher stage badge is when you think that you have helped out a new or inexperienced member and the staff has not reviewed it for over a fortnight.
- Only one badge may be used at any one point.
- The staff badges can only be upgraded by the PR staff or GM.
- The badges can not be claimed through means of bribery and unfair play. If anybody is found doing so (and they will be if they do so), they will be automatically stripped of all badges and be prohibited from using them again.
- If you have reaches stage 10 or 18, it does not mean you will become staff or General Manager and be able to claim stage 11 or 19. It simply means that you have reached the temporary end of badges. New badges will be added if such cases often occurs.
- Despite the fact that you will not become staff simply by earning all available badges, the badges and your record of it will certainly pay a role in consideration if you are ever nominated to be staff. However, it must be stressed that this is not the purpose of the badges, and the point of the badges are to stimulate your interest to help others and make the wiki better along the way. Plus, helping others is a good thing to do, and the badges are simply a way to reward you for doing so. :)
