To expand on Lee's comment, this wildcard is appropriate for varlists,
but this argument is not a varlist.
In addition you will be bitten by a typo. Revisiting your code,
I will pick nits:
=============== code with NJC comments
use evaluation, clear
forvalues i = 1(1)10 {
// OK, but learn to save keystrokes by
// forval i = 1/10 {
twoway (histogram q`i', discrete frequency), ///
xlabel(1(1)5) name(q`1', replace) scheme(sj)
// typo: you have `1' there instead of `i'
}
graph combine q1-q10
// invalid use of wildcard
==============
============== try this instead
use evaluation, clear
forval i = 1/10 {
local I "`I' q`i'"
twoway (histogram q`i', discrete frequency), ///
xlabel(1/5) name(q`i', replace) scheme(sj)
}
graph combine `I'
==================
