Do self-answered questions count as progress towards the Explainer, Refiner, Illuminator badges? [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

New three-tiered badge idea: Explainer →Refiner → Illuminator (16 answers)

Closed 11 years ago.

I tend to answer my own questions if they remain unanswered for some time, and I wondered this:

If I edit my question within 12 hours before or after answering it, like I do with others' questions, will that count as progress toward the Explainer, Refiner, and Illuminator answer badges?

Answer 1

No. Per the requirements documented here:

Edited n questions within 12 hours of posting an answer (that's 12 hours before or after answering), where:

• The question was asked by someone other than the answerer
• Neither the questions nor the answers are deleted
• The questions are not closed
• The answers score > 0
• The question edits changed either body, titles, or both

Answer 2

I picked a self answered question on SO, seems to meet requirements.

This one seems to qualify too.

Looks like you don't get those badges for self-answered questions.
