Supervisor:
No, neither giving nor receiving trust points count as contributions.
Message Boards and Question Discussions both count as community contribution points 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.
If you answer a question and then get an account, it will not count that answer as a contribution on your account. You must be signed into your account to get contributions - contributions are not given by IP address.
Splitting an alternate wording from a parent question is counted in the "Organization" type of contributions.
WikiAnswers ranks your contributions by how many questions, answers, edits and community work you contribute to the WikiAnswers community.
No, contributions on one WikiAnswers account can not be added to - or merged with - any other WikiAnswers user account.In other words, the contribution count to each of the 6 WikiAnswers sites is separate; there is no shortcut to a "central" place of keeping tabs on your contributions to the various sites.(See the Related question for information on how to become a Linguist.)
More than anybody can count. That's a good thing, because that means everyone is helping WikiAnswers site make it better! Keep up the good work!
WikiAnswers does not pay for contributions. All contributors and supervisors are volunteers who love the site concept.
