The historical contributions on this website are not active anymore. They are remnants of the old contributions system. The old system did not divide the types of points like it does now. When the site went to the new system, all the old contributions were made historical. Only members that have been on the site for a while still have those contributions on their profile.
Historical contribution points were introduced on Mon Feb 01, 2010, when the Split Contributions feature went live on WikiAnswers.
Any edit you make to a question on WikiAnswers goes into the history. You can make a contribution by answering a question, editing an answer, or flagging or unflagging an answer. You can also get in the history by discussing a question or changing its categories. If your asking about the historical count on the contributions list, then the answer is you can no longer add any contributions to this count, any contributions that may already be included will be from the old system of counting contributions.
WikiAnswers ranks your contributions by how many questions, answers, edits and community work you contribute to the WikiAnswers community.
'Historical' points are points earned before a major site update changed the way contributions were counted. The site describes them as "miscellaneous points from our older system".
WikiAnswers does not pay for contributions. All contributors and supervisors are volunteers who love the site concept.
