Thanks for adding wcg and oproject badges - but the oproject badges aren't correct:

Shore should be gold and I don't have a weird badge.

There was an issue with timeouts and an unfortunate miss by me of not initializing a variable, perhaps the extra one is/was just down to that. I've just deleted all badges for opr and rerun the job.

I get the badges by scraping the actual badges from this page and your shor badge there is silver?? I can see that by credit you should be gold though. Perhaps I should change the scraping script to use credit. Bit odd when the project doesn't even have the badges correct!

Appreciate the offer to add WCG and O. My thought is: automate the process and put links under the banner for WCG and O. Users can add those badges at their leisure and leave you to do more important stuff. If the badges are added, then you don't need to display the links.

If you like this idea, I'll hold off and use my IDs to test the links

Whilst it is a good idea, it's unfortunately also open to abuse unless you were logged in and authenticated. There would be nothing stopping anyone from writing a bot which added thousands or millions of entries.

It only takes a few seconds to add in, after I validate the details.
