You're fine. That's what wikis in general are for. As long as your edits are genuinely for the better of the pasta and you're not changing the mechanics of the story, you're golden. We all need to start somewhere and it sounds like you've been on the right path.

As for badges, they are just achievements (the star-shaped things you mentioned). Some people earn them through hard work i.e. reading the stories and making grammar corrections and so forth. Other people (see LordMReaper below) simply troll blogs and make idiotic edits that are infinitesimal. Either way, badges are kind of pointless unless you're hellbent on becoming a mod and contribute accordingly.
