Yes, all users, regardless if they're a supervisor or not, will have a contributor level badge. This could be a contributor, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, double platinum, or ruby level badge.
Though the criteria are subject to change, you are promoted to a bronze contributor after 500 contributions, a silver contributor after 5,000, a gold contributor after 25,000, and a platinum contributor after 100,000 contributions.
To get to a "Gold Contributor" level, you must have at least 25,000 contributions. This includes everything from asking and answering questions to putting questions in the right categories.
No, you just have to be consistent. A little bit every day is the easiest way to get there.

You will receive a Gold Contributor badge when you reach 25,000 contributions! However, this formula may change in the future to emphasize answering more.
Sadly, there are no Contributor levels or profile badges for reaching 20,000 contributions. However, you do get to boast that you have reached a whopping 20,000 contributions on the best Q&A site on the web! When you reach 25,000 contributions you will become a Gold Contributor, and when you reach 50,000 contributions you will receive a badge on your profile!
I think it is due to the fact that people generally like helping other people, without getting all the attention or praise. Also it is quite fun, especially if your bored! Another factor is your status on the site's you can move up from contributor to bronze contributor to silver to gold to platinum to double platinum and finally to ruby contributor (having to make 1/2 million contributions!!!). People love WikiAnswers- there really isn't any more to it. WikiAnswers if a fun place to edit and ask questions and ends up being very addicting to many people who try out the site.
Pride for answering a question, if you'll take it. You'll have +1 contribution, which takes you closer to earning a badge: Contributor, Bronze Contributor, Silver Contributor, Gold Contributor, Platinum Contributor, Double Platinum Contributor, or Ruby Contributor. Also, you may earn trust points for answering a question.
