<p>There have only been 579 people ever awarded an <code>explainer</code> badge, i.e., people who edited and answered a single question, only 26 people who have done that 50 times; the <code>refiner</code> silver badge, and only two who have done that 500 times; the <code>illuminator</code> gold badge.</p>

<p>How do you feel about awarding +2 reputation for each time someone edits and answers a question? That might stimulate people toward pulling interesting stuff out of the close vote cue.</p>
