As for explainer, a badge that needs an explained isn’t terribly helpful. How are newbies (the target audience for seeing the badges) going to know what they mean?

I agree. I'm still trying hard to think of a hotel statistic that would be as meaningful to me as the listing of hotel programs that some of us include in our bios. On a side note, I tried to look up something in the glossary and got a 404 error. A member has posted about it here. Is that a glitch or a change?
