I have answered a question on Stack Overflow, but I didn't get any reputation points for the answer after my answer got accepted. I checked the wiki and search this site and cannot figure out why. Here is the link of my answer.

  • I have just had the same query regarding one of my accepted answers on: link I haven't edited it more than 5 times, it isn't a hot post and I don't remember ticknig the add to community wiki box!? If I did, I certainly didn't do it on purpose. Perhaps it needs to be renamed or made more prominent?

  • @sarin: Your answer is community wiki because the question is. There cannot be a non-wiki answer to a wiki question.
