What do you mean, "calling a file?"
The purpose of wget is to get files. Naturally after getting a file, wget writes the output into the current directory. If the file already exists, it writes a dot.numbered version.
The -q flag tells wget to be quiet while it is working ... not discard the file. Since you have mixed -q and redirection, you should be writing absolutely nothing to the logfile, but saving the target file in the local directory.
If you want to discard the file (perhaps using this mechanism to trigger a remote process, while ignoring the results) you need to add the flag "-O -" to send the output to stdout, then redirect it to /dev/null:
wget -q -O - http://whatever/ >>/dev/null
