First of all, I want to let you know that I'm not staff. I'm not an admin. I'm just another person who really wants to make the site a better place. I'm really glad you're excited to help. That's what hRPG needs. That being said, it's important to remember that editing the wiki isn't about contributor levels. It isn't about badges. It's about making the wiki better.

Keeping that in mind, think about this:

70 of your points you gained from adding categories. I had to revert the vast majority of these because they were added with no apparent rhyme or reason. ("Dailies" being a "Place in Habitica" is one of the most absurd examples that come to mind.) Not only did you end up getting points for work that couldn't be used, you ended up getting points for making more work for someone else. Even worse, you spent a clear period of time doing nothing but adding categories, right up until you got the final badge that counts for contributor levels. This leads me to believe that you were not adding categories to help the wiki. You were adding categories for the badge.

Similarly, 60 of your points are for making vague comments on other people's blog posts that don't really contribute to the discussion or make the wiki a better site. Like with the categories, you stopped immediately after getting the badge.

10 of your points you gained from commenting on your own wall, a badge that is supposed to be gained from commenting on someone else's wall.

20 of your edits were adding one or two links at a time on the Index page. That job could have been done much faster editing the whole thing at once, without padding your edit count.

Like I said-- I'm not the one who is in charge of handing out contributor levels, or even anyone of importance. I'm just someone who really cares about hRPG. And I'm worried that you have the wrong perspective here.
