and automated

 Description:

 There’s a discrepancy between the Meta Handbook documentation and the
 corresponding Profile Association pages for the “WP Credits” program
 badges.


 == Affected Pages:


 Meta Handbook:
 https://make.wordpress.org/meta/handbook/tutorials-guides/profile-badges/

 Lists “WP Credits” badges with color codes:

 **Participant**: Take part in a WP Credits initiative.

 **Graduate**: Graduate a WP Credits initiative.

 **States**: Both are manually assigned by the team.


 == Profile Association pages:

 **Credits Mentor**

 “This group is automated. Please contact the relevant team, or see the
 handbook for more information.”

 **Credits Graduate**

 “This group is automated. Please contact the relevant team, or see the
 handbook for more information.”


 == Issue:

 The Meta Handbook says these badges are manually assigned, while the
 Profile Associations pages describe them as automated. This inconsistency
 can confuse contributors and new participants in the WP Credits
 initiative.


 == Suggested Fix:

 Confirm whether these badges are manually assigned or automatically
 generated by the system.


 == Update either:

 the Meta Handbook (to reflect “automated”), or

 the Profile Association descriptions (to reflect “manual”),
 depending on the correct current behavior.
