There is no end to the amount of contributions you can make.
Yes, WikiAnswers does have ranks. The 'ranks' are contributor levels, and if you make a certain amount of contributions, you are upgraded to the next 'rank' or contributor status level.
Recategorizing and Editing questions is the fastest way to make contributions to WikiAnswers, but all contributions are valued. We do not encourage contributors to contribute for the sole reason of getting contribution points - do what you enjoy!
You can't. Just make a guess.
You can click the "Hide" button below the contributions in your biopage. Regular contributors cannot view your contributions. But supervisors can view it.
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.

Editing question categories to place them in their correct categories (or just removing the ones it doesn't belong in) is probably the easiest way to make contributions.
The numbers beside the usernames are Trust Points. Trust Points are points given by other contributors who think a contributor has done an outstanding job on WikiAnswers. The amount of points is the amount of people who trust you and your contributions. There should be a 'recommend' button by your name if you made the last edit in an answer. You can recommend yourself once. To advance your Trust Points, just make high-quality answers and/or contributions to WikiAnswers and someone is bound to trust you.
The main reason you are not getting recognition for your contributions is that your contributions may be average, or not top-notch. Contributions are worth getting recognition for if you make top-notch contributions that are above average. Otherwise, your contributions may not be worth the recognition.
Your WikiAnswers profile will automatically stretch to fit the amount of content you wish to add.
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.
