Thanks Harry, I think everyone who hasn't should go and upvote your request...

No idea, but I had a similar post.

What does [status-deferred] entail on this relevant meta.SE request?

The ninth-edit community wiki rule is sketchy, but sketchier is the fact that that makes future answers community wiki too. I just got hit by that for a question where the ninth-edit occurred while I was typing my answer — that's very, very annoying...

The questioner made it community wiki for some strange reason. They are completely unrelated, as weird as that sounds.

That doesn't make any sense to me, but ok, it is a reason.

But why is the question also community wiki?

Upon the ninth revision, your answer becomes community wiki.

The question http://mathoverflow.net/questions/13851/the-inverse-galois-problem-and-the-monster was made a community wiki question - which doesn't make any sense to me, and now it even looks like I asked the question myself, which is not true - and also my answer was made "community wiki". Is there any good reason for this? (I can't think of one :))
