Did WikiAnswers discontinue the Green Thumb badge?
Yes, the Green Thumb badge was discontinued on February 15, 2011.According to a post on the Supervisors' forum by Crystal (WikiAnswers Community Coordinator):Hey folks!I'm writing about the Green Thumb badge which has historically been given out to those of you who have provided category descriptions for new and existing categories. We've actually reached a juncture in our travels where it is becoming nearly impossible to keep up with the inflow and outflow of requests, the backlog of categories that have existed for some time without descriptions and the more than 7,000 existing topic areas that now grace our site. Whew! We have sure come a long way!Right now we are working on getting all missing descriptions in the system and will be popping in new ones that meet certain criteria for search engines, etc. as the requests come in. Therefore, our Green Thumb badge will be going into retirement. For those of you who have earned it, well done! The badge will proudly remain on your profile for all to see. For those of you who believe you should have one, please let me know. We want you to get it before it heads off for a nice vacation in the Badge-amas.(See the Related questions and the Related links for more information about the history of the Green Thumb badge.)
What is the rarest badge a Wikianswers contributor can have?
Green Thumb.
How do you see the description of a category?
One quick way to find categories that need descriptions is to look at the list of recently created categories. Go to your blue toolbar on the left hand side of the screen and click "Browse Categories." On the right side of the screen will be a list of categories recently created, most of which probably don't have descriptions yet. Otherwise, visit each category page and look at the top to see if a category is needed. Remember, if you submit 50 category descriptions you get a "Green Thumb" badge on your bio page!

Where do you get a badge from for being the top contributor in a category?
