The next obvious choice for a
WikiBadge.
ShamelessSelfPromotion at its shamelessest. Putting
HireMe after a comment you wrote and consider particularly incisive, would perhaps be the opposite of the
KillYourDarlings approach.
I wonder if anyone has ever said anything sufficiently impressive on a Wiki to warrant a hiring decision in his favor. Perhaps you wouldn't hire someone cold after reading a Wiki, but if you're interviewing someone and you recognize them from the Wiki, you have that much more respect for them.

Heck, I'd hire ANYONE from the Wiki. Just this morning I saw someone on the Subway reading
ExtremeProgrammingEmbraceChange and I wanted to strike up a conversation and give him my business card. The reason I didn't is because about a year ago I was reading the
LearningPython book and someone struck up a conversation with me. It was quite uncomfortable. Since then, I've accepted my inner geek, but I've realized that other people haven't yet. In that particular case, a real-life
HireMe badge would've been helpful.
I nearly got hired as a result of posting on the Wiki (I decided to take up another opportunity instead). --

I got hired as a result of someone finding my resume online:

Of course, there's always the possibility that they won't
HireMe given the quality of my posts!
Or the lack of a signature.. -- MichaelKing
