It takes 30 answers to push a question automatically into Community Wiki. Does this include or exclude deleted answers?

Well, we could probably test that here...– jjnguyAug 4, 2010 at 17:18

OK, I added and deleted 5. Someone else can have a turn before some kind of spammer detection software sends a hit squad to my house.– user27414Aug 4, 2010 at 17:21

@jon: First the squad, then I take over.– Ladybug KillerAug 4, 2010 at 17:23

I would be shocked if it didn't exclude deleted answers, but okay, let's give it a shot.– Jon SeigelAug 4, 2010 at 17:24

7Let's all provide an answer so that the answer randomizer makes a story out of them. So everyone add a sentence to make a story that makes sense no matter what order the sentences are read in. And then none of us are permitted to up or downvote any of the answers so that they're forever randomized. Who's with me?– WelbogAug 4, 2010 at 17:24

Being blind to deleted answers while they are being written, I greatly look forward to seeing what kind of chaos comes from the combined answers.– Grace Note StaffModAug 4, 2010 at 17:30

OK - 31. We made it.– user27414Aug 4, 2010 at 17:33

No community wiki yet!?– txwikingerAug 4, 2010 at 17:35

Well, we don't actually know what the threshold is on meta...It's 30 on SO, but not necessarily here.– jjnguyAug 4, 2010 at 17:35

... how many of us (the "participants") can actually see the deleted posts? (and as such, the "story")– Richard JP Le GuenAug 4, 2010 at 17:45

1So, now the question becomes this... If all the deleted answers are now undeleted, will the question and answers auto-wiki upon the reappearance of the 30th answer?– gnostradamusAug 4, 2010 at 18:20

@gnovice I actually think it probably won't trigger auto-wiki, much like merging questions does not trigger it.– Grace Note StaffModAug 5, 2010 at 12:59

No. 30 deleted answers will not force CW. (At least not on MSO).

I'm pretty sure the value isn't going to be higher than 30. This search turns up nothing greater than 28 answers, so it's more reasonable that 30 remains the turning point. Aug 4, 2010 at 17:46

@Grace, we could add 2 more answers to one of those posts to find out.– jjnguyAug 4, 2010 at 19:01
