Any action you perform on WikiAnswers will generate a contribution of some kind. Whether the activity generates one or more points depends on the activity. Chatting, forum entries, and merging may not generate actual points, and the totals of your points could be adjusted by future guidelines. The point of wikianswers is not simply to generate points, although the points indicate your comparative interest and aid to the site.

Since the maximum number of categories a question can be placed into is 3, the maximum number of contribution points a user receives for asking any new question is 4 points: 1 question (1 point) + 3 categories (1 point for each category x 3 categories) = 4 contribution points for asking a question and correctly placing it into 3 categories.

Trust points are slightly different. Contributors do not directly earn these points through their contributions; they are awarded trust points by other WikiAnswers users.
