What is the highest badge level for contributions on WikiAnswers?
The Ruby level contributor is the highest-level badge you can earn for contributions. To get this badge, you need to make 500,000 contributions. You can do this by answering/editing questions, organization, asking questions, or community.
Can you get paid to help out on WikiAnswers?
Unless you are a paid employee of WikiAnswers, you will not be paid for your contributions. WikiAnswers is a wiki, a community site that people contribute to because they want to, not for payment.You can, of course, earn prizes in some of the various WikiAnswers competitions (for example, you can win book vouchers).
Why are your trust points not added to your total points on WikiAnswers?
Your total WikiAnswers contribution points are calculated as the sum of all of the contribution points you have earned. These include first answers, edits, organizational actions, questions asked, and community contributions. All of these points come under the heading of "Contributions" in your WikiAnswers profile. Trust points are slightly different. Contributors do not directly earn these points through their contributions; they are awarded trust points by other WikiAnswers users. Therefore, trust points are not counted as contributions, and do not add to the contribution points total in a WikiAnswers profile.
