The only ways in which a question or an answer can now become a community wiki are described in the FAQ. | |

Some problems just turn out harder than expected and you keep coming back to the post to handle the corner cases you discover as you play out the solution. But those kind of posts are relatively rare. Out of 6.5k answers, it happened to me twice or so. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 17:10 | comment | added | Servy | That said, it's still a strong sign that you should be taking more care with your edits to edit the post all at once, rather than making lots of small incremental edits. If this is happening more than very rarely, something is off. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 17:09 | comment | added | Martijn Pieters | @JoshC: Yes. This happened to me twice or so, and after a flagging a moderator reverted the status for me in each case. | |
| Oct 30, 2013 at 17:07 | comment | added | Josh Crozier | So if they were legitimate edits, and not bumps to draw attention - then you can have it reverted? | |
