How can I change my existing question to a community wiki?   I have a set of questions on Stack Exhcange sites. I wish to make them community wiki questions. Is there any option to change my question into a community wiki? I see there is an option to do so for answers. Why is there no such options for questions?

Some questions and answers are marked Community Wiki and are owned by a community wiki user:  (In fact, this very question is one of them)  Why have Community Wiki posts? How do Community Wiki posts work? How does a post become a Community Wiki post? How can the Community Wiki status be removed from a post? How can I find Community Wiki posts?

There are times when I'd like to communicate something to the Stack Overflow community but it doesn't fit a question.  Right now, I have the product of many answers (a bunch of code) I'd like to share back but can't.  If each user had a blog or wiki (or something) they could create articles / blogs on and then link the related SO questions to it. You could then add an icon to those questions to show there is also more expansive information available.  By linking to the questions, this means anyone could author articles addressing a question outside of the scope of the more simple Q/A scenario.  Of course, many people have blogs but they must link that in a not so immersive fashion and not everyone has a blog (and also many blogs are inadequate in displaying text from a coding viewpoint (e.g. formatting code). Folding such a mechanism into SO would open up all sorts of creative opportunities and make the site even more sticky for users.  I think it's a winner and I'd use it for sure.

Isn't StackExchange a network to build a knowledge base for Google? Or to help people?  Yes, it is. So why is there the Programming Puzzles &amp; Code Golf website? What problems are solved there? What questions are asked there?  None.  Therefore, I think Programming Puzzles &amp; Code Golf doesn't fit into the philosophy of StackExchange. It should or   get it's own domain be removed (though I wouldn't do that)   I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

What's the right course of action for cross-site duplicates?  There are two flavors:   A question is posted which belongs on another site and ends up already having been asked there. I can't find an example right now, but it's bound to happen soon if it hasn't already. The same question is posted in two places at the same time. Take  for example, which is a duplicate of , posted within a half hour of each other by the same user.   Possible actions:   Move it to the proper site and close it once it gets there as a duplicate. Provide a way to close it right away as a cross-site duplicate, without moving it first. Flag it and let a moderator merge them. Close it as "no longer relevant" or something else.   Additionally, flavor 2 is a bit of a special case; perhaps the question really spans both sites in terms of content and intended audience. Should multiple-postings in this case be allowed? If so, should they somehow be linked to each other? If not, how do we avoid a migration war?

Is it okay if I ask a question on Stack Overflow about the concern I have in my project? I am midway and unable to figure out how to move ahead.  I am not looking for someone to write and give code for me, but I am stuck at some point where I am unable to understand how to proceed, as it includes different programming languages/nosql database.  Or to put it in another way, where can I ask such question?

My question is that I asked a question on stackoverflow.com and  I want to share my question to all other technical stackoverflow linked sites like ,  etc.  I want to share my question on only selected sites related to stackoverflow. I don't want to post duplicates, I just want to make my question visible for the users on the related site, that may not necessarily be the members of the both sites, but may be competent to answer.  Is there any option in StackExchange network to perform this operation?  Can any one suggest me how I can do this?

I see that &quot;Stack Exchange has always explicitly encouraged users to answer their own questions&quot;. But is there any limitations on the self-answered questions? I guess they are surely must be on-topic for the site and this is not mentioned just because it is the obvious, am I correct? Is there any other limitations? In the blog there is an entry:  which says &quot;never hesitate to ask and answer your own question on any Stack Exchange site&quot;. How official is this position? For example; we can consider this question and discussion in comments to it:  It raises two specific questions:  Must self-answered question be interesting for many people? If yes, then how many? Must it be as narrow and specific as possible, as required from usual questions?  I see that one other specific question (about self-promotion questions) where already answered here:  , but not the mentioned above.

Over the past couple of days there have been a few questions about overlapping proposals and questions that could belong on multiple sites:        What is the best practice before / after asking a question if you think your question might be better on another site?  or  If I think my question might belong on multiple sites as per the above posts?

I joined a new community and asked a question ()  People are commenting &amp; asking questions, but I cannot answer them back. Even "Comment Everywhere" privilege requires 50 reputations and I have 101 reputations.  Am I missing something?

I love Stack Exchange and really hope to see it evolve, maybe into a helper page for sites like Wikipedia. One of the problems I have as a user is the kinds of questions I generally have are for lists of answers, or to get a vague and rambling set of answers to dig through and collect the pieces I'm looking for. For instance, it would be nice to ask for a list of great food websites (as an example only) and then get a listing of these sites.  I'm wondering if there is a sub-section or side-section of Stack Exchange that offers this kind of back-and-forth that is restricted on the Stack Exchange topics normally? I get that sites like facebook offer this to one degree or another, and message boards, etc. But none of those sites have the indexing, tagging, searchability, and referencing options that Stack Exchange does. So I'm hoping that there is a Stack Exchange-approved model for this question that I just wasn't aware of yet.

Obligatory: This is not a duplicate of , which is concerning the much older duplicate closure process.  Have a gander at . Notice anything weird?  The Community♦ user was invoked by the question asker to self-close as a duplicate (presumably of the comment below, which links to ), but the list of duplicates is entirely empty. So it would seem the question asker was able to close their own question as a duplicate of... nothing?  Screenshot, in case the post is altered later:    Any idea what happened here?

I like the community and appreciate the great service it's been to me over the past few months.  Sometimes I want to show my support for a great answer or comment, but I can't because I'm a new user and have only 1 reputation. It seems like the only way to gain the requisite 15 reputation (for voting) is to ask questions?  Until now I didn't have any questions that weren't already answered by the community. Is this the only way? Won't this one day lead to no new users not being able to participate?

The FAQ says that Community Wiki works:     by transferring ownership of the post   from the original author to the   community. They make the post easier   to edit and maintain by a wider group   of users, but they do not contribute   to any user's reputation.   But using the new edit suggestion system, everyone can edit. It's no longer true that community wiki makes a post easier to edit.  Does community wiki still serve a function?    What are good examples of community wiki mode doing what it's supposed to do?

I've been asking quite a few questions on several Stack Exchange sites, and I'm finding it harder and harder to keep track of them all.    Is there any way/place to see a listing of all my questions with no answer accepted on all of the Stack Exchange (2.0) sites? Or even just per site? If not, are there any plans to implement such a feature?  Although Jeff offered an answer, I don't feel it's the answer to my question; as far I'm aware there still is no way to list only my unanswered questions.

Allow converting comments to answers, so they can become accepted answers.  I asked a question. Someone commented on it, and it was an awesome comment that fully answered the question. As the original questioner, I would like to convert that comment to an answer in order to accept it.  Or, if you prefer, I would be okay with being able to simply mark the comment as accepted.

I had a problem earlier this day and started .  To get stuff done, I eventually decided to circumvent the problem by doing it completely different. This means that I won't be able to try out and accept new answers, as my code has changed so much. There are already answers but they don't solve the problem.  Should I   delete the question? add a comment or edit it stating that the question is abandoned? just do nothing and waste other people's time thinking about it?

I merged a question on programmers.stackexchange.com earlier today and 20 minutes or so later someone came along and answered it. Shouldn't that have been impossible?  Here's the . It was merged into .  Is it possible to merge the answer now or should the user repost manually?
