Categorization gives people a lot of contributions quickly. I would start in 'Uncategorized' and give the questions appropriate categories. You should be careful though to only categorize the questions you know the categories for and not falsely categorize something just for the points. Falsely categorizing something is good way to get warnings and possibly be banned.
Yes, you lose the Bronze Contributor badge on WikiAnswers when you reach 5,000 contributions. Then, after 5,000 contributions, you become a Silver Contributor, which is a good sign that tells you that you have been working hard and now you get a new reward for it all.
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!
A bronze contributor requires 500 contributions. It is quite easy to reach if you recategorize lots of questions!
You do get a bronze contributor the very moment you reached 500 contributions.
You can reach Bronze contributor at 500 contributions and so on. How? Keep working at it! Answer, ask, edit, re-categorize, and post comments in the community forum.
It should only take 1 contribution to get that orange "Contributor" badge on your Answers.com profile.You will sport that badge until you reach 500 contributions (such as answers, edits, asking questions, and categorizing questions), at which stage you will achieve the Bronze contributor level.(For information about badges for the various contributor levels, see the Related question.)
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.
It's not the number of questions - it's the total number of contributions that counts. These can be questions asked, answers given or edits (either questions or answers). Using the talk pages, user pages, and discussion forums also count, as well as moving questions to their proper categories and managing the alternates for the questions. So when you reach 500 contributions, you will receive the bronze badge. Then when you reach 5000, you will get the silver badge. The next one is the gold badge at 25000, and there are several more.
It could be that you are not logged in. When you ask a question on WikiAnswers, you do receive a "contribution" credit, the total of which is shown on the bio page of registered users. However, you will not appear on the "Contributor" tab of the Question History page. This currently displays the same edit info as below the answer window. You have to click "view complete history" which takes you to the History tab to the left! (After 500 contributions, you get the Bronze Contributor badge in place of the contributor badge. And you get a different badge as you reach higher levels.)
Nothing really happens at "200" contributions, but along the way you might become a "Premier answerer," or something, maybe. But when you reach 500 contributions, you get a Bronze badge added to your bio page. I hoped this helped. Enjoy the day/evening.
