The OpenBadges extension allows for Open Badges to be issued through MediaWiki.

A badge can be created on the wiki, by anyone with the createbadge right, using a png or svg image as an illustration through Special:BadgeCreate.
A badge can be awarded, by anyone with the issuebadge right, to other users on the wiki which fulfil the e-mail requirements, either through Special:BadgeIssue or api.php?action=openbadgesissue.
Any user can view their awarded badges through Special:BadgeView.
Anyone can use api.php?action=openbadges to access a hosted assertion (that is, an awarded badge), in accordance with the Open Badges specification: 1.1, if the recipient user on the wiki still fulfills the e-mail requirements.

Installation

Download and move the extracted OpenBadges folder to your extensions/ directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:
```
cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/OpenBadges
```
Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
```
wfLoadExtension( 'OpenBadges' );
```
Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
Configure as required
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
