The descriptions associated to tag-based badges are wrong, they always show 0 instead of actual thresholds:
Earned at least 0 total score for at least 0 non-community wiki answers in the … tag
1 Answer
This seems to have been silently/magically fixed in the last 7 months (Date of Nicos Karalis' comment).
Descriptions seem correct now. I had verified that they weren't correct when I upvoted this question on Apr 29 '14.
Side note: It's not documented, but apparently tag-based badges are not listed unless they have been awarded at least once.
Take a look at /2.2/badges?inname=python-3&site=stackoverflow:

Note that there are no silver or gold badges listed for either python-3.3 or python-3.4.
And these badges haven't been earned yet.
0, the number are correct now. Feel free to add an answer.
