In the past there was a feature where x amount of edits automatically turned posts into community wikis. Is this feature on for the beta? or did I accidentally make a post a community wiki. I thought that was globally turned off.

I dont think a site like this benefits from such rules anyway. Atleast it does not fit my style very well as i might add a few references, and thoughts later. I might also touchup code and add pictures.

Also what is our general policy on community wikis? I know many of the communities do not like the idea.

POst in question:

Yes, the automatic conversion to community wikis was globally turned off. But even before, I doubt it would kick in after 6 edits. So it seems you must have accidentally ticked the community wiki checkbox beneath the edit field:

If you don't actually want your answer to be community wiki, you can always flag your answer with a custom flag to ask a moderator to un-CW the post.
