Summary:
Upvotes received before marking community wiki don't show in the rep audit, and upon triggering a recalc, are subtracted from the score in the page header, but remain in the profile screen reputation log.
In the canonical What are "Community Wiki" posts?, it is stated that reputation earned or lost before wiki mode is retained.
The original author keeps the reputation gained (or lost) before their post entered community mode.
After answering an "easy" question, I marked it community wiki expecting a lot of not that well deserved upvotes were likely to roll in. At the time I marked the community wiki option, I think I had already 3 upvotes on the answer and it quickly went up to 5. Assuming all the reputation would go away, I checked meta and found the statement above.
Looking at my reputation audit (via https://stackoverflow.com/reputation) however, all the prior upvotes on that answer disappeared though my rep counter in the header hasn't yet recalculated to reflect that. Based on the documentation we have, ~3 upvotes would have remained in the reputation audit.
I have no particular need for the points from those upvotes and expected they would go away, but that's inconsistent with our "official" documentation on the matter. So, has the behavior changed? Does the community wiki reference answer just need to be updated?
Edit 1:
If those points don't remain in the audit and a recalculation occurs, do they stay or go? Past experience tells me that recalculation (manually from the button on the audit or automatic) sets the displayed score to that listed in the audit. So which one is correct in this case?
Current inconsistency between audit & display:
Current display showing 290 for the day with +40 for question 11692959:
Current audit which shows +250 for the day and nothing for question 11692959:
Edit 2, clicked Recalc Button:
After clicking the Trigger Recalc button, the display goes back to the value from before any upvotes, score now consistent with the audit (+250 for today)
But the reputation log still shows +40 for the answer and +290 for today
