I answered this question on StackOverflow: Javascript to Dynamically Create Spaces/Folders in Alfresco Doesn't Work Correctly
Then a bounty of +50 is offered on this question. As the question is changed by the owner, I change my answer in accordance with the changed question. I changed my answer 13 times. It shows this:

community wiki 13 revs swemon

After the bounty period, the owner accepts my answer. As far as I know, when one's answer is accepted, one gains +15 reputation. But my reputation has not changed.

    Look at What are “Community Wiki” posts?

  • Yeah. It writes more than 10 times edited by owner, the post becomes community wiki post.

  • Note for any new readers stumbling across this old question: the automatic conversion of posts to community wiki due to too many edits, as happened in this case, was removed in 2014. The only ways in which a question or an answer can now become a community wiki are described in the FAQ.

You don't gain reputation on community wiki posts, which includes the reputation from it being accepted by the OP. The only reputation you can gain from a CW answer is a bounty award.

  • Also I do not get bounty award because the question owner accepts my answer after giving bounty award to another person whose answer the most upvote. :D

  • @PraveenKumar Pretty sure it's always functioned this way since community wiki was created. This answer is from 2012, so it's not exactly a recent change.

  • @animuson Tried answering a question in CW mode, and got slightly taken aback that I didn't get rep for getting my answer accepted. Woah! :)
