Yes, yes, thanks, I just figured it out too, and thought it was odd that "92 score" should mean 92 (net) upvotes (after all, not only are scores and upvotes different entities, scores are also influenced by Acceptances).
The (presumably new) design that I see is slightly different: the "next tag badge" section is more isolated by itself, so it isn't obvious that the green bars are related to it at all. The head-scratching "score" misnomer, and, to a lesser extent, the impropriety of the fraction "73/20", don't help either. Thanks for your above reply. @Xander
In fact, I was confused once upon a time, figured it out, and evidently forgot again, leading to my above query. This goes to show how untintuitive this section is. Haha
@XanderHenderson @ryang My understanding of the first green bar, i.e., the "x/y score" one, is that it's not necessarily the sum of the scores of all of your posts with that tag but, rather, the total score of the top up to 20 posts. Thus, as shown in Xander's screen shot, there are 27 answers, with the top 20 having a total score of 92. That badge will be awarded when the scores of the top 20 scored answers sum to at least 100. Regardless, though, I agree the display is confusing.
I thought that it was sum of scores of non-CW answers (and the count of non-CW answers) as in the tags tab
@JohnOmielan A bronze tag badge is awarded if you have at least 20 answers and score in all answers from that tag at least 100. That's why there is /100 and 20.
If somebody has 19/20 that means that still did not fulfil the requirement. In this case, there is 27/20 - so the condition about the count is fulfilled.
But there is another condition - and this user is at 97/100.
> You must have a total score of 100 in at least 20 non-community wiki answers to achieve this badge.
Thresholds for silver and gold badges are higher.
As far as I can tell, the relevant numbers are shown in the tags tab in the user's profile and in the list of top users and in the progress bar.
The tab in the users' profile has quite clear tooltip - but I do not see any tooltip in the progress bar and there is a tooltip in the list of top users, but it doesn't mention "non-CW".
@ryang See above. (I waited for John Omielan's response before pinging you - I thought that if I misunderstood something , then he will be able to correct me.)
The main point here is that it is not "top 20 answers" but it is "all non-CW answers".
Thanks all. To summarise (hopefully correctly): we require 20 non-CW answers with said tag, and 100 net upvotes in all answers with said tag, to attain that tag badge. @MartinSleziak
@ryang A minor correction (but that's probably what you meant) - it is "total score" and not just upvotes. (So a user with 100 upvotes and one downvote is still one upvoted from the tag badge.)
And it is the score from "non-CW answers" only - but that's probably what you meant when you wrote: "100 net upvotes in all answers with said tag".
I guess that what I call "total score" is the same thing you call "net upvotes" (i.e., upvotes minus downvotes). I wanted to stress mainly the thing about non-CW answers.
Since we're talking tag badges, I'll just mention that they are awarded only for the tags which have at least 100 questions.
@XanderHenderson Interesting. Most people got negative correction. I got −12, and I know one of my downvotes was doubled (which has now been fixed), but −13 from others should be impossible so maybe in my 10 years on Math SE one of my other downvotes was accidentally doubled too. Kind of funny that the bug has affected almost everyone, contrary to the implicit impression given by the meta post that it is only a small problem.
@ryang Sure, but I engaged with that post's author a year ago, and they didn't seem amenable to making changes. I could have made the edits then, but chose not to, out of respect for their intentions. My comment is still visible, so readers, in (14) principal, have the information they need.
