Perhaps you should ask Eternal Optimist as he has a Catweazle avatar. ¿Wasn't he a warlock or something?

The terms "Wizard" and "Warlock", like many terms of folklore are a bit blurry, however, in essence :
Xianity deemed "warlocks" to be the male equivalent of witches, and adopted a similar stance to their persecution
Wizard, especially in medieval chivalry, denoted a wise old man or adviser who was still viewed with suspicion, but tolerated because he worked for the Lord.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

so, in general, the good and bad badges are correct when stuck to wizards and warlocks.Comment

Basically yes, DS23.
However, fantasy mythology tends to use the terms interchangably, so a Wizard can be "bad" in one world, but "good" in another. Depends on the author's world. Warlocks are more often "bad" however.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
