It's a specific question with a specific answer. I thought community-wiki was a ghetto for "Must-have super-awesome for $FOO" type questions.

Your question has 10 answers. Any question on SuperUser with 10 or more answers is automatically converted to Community Wiki.

Well, that's sub-optimal. – richardhoskins Jul 18 '09 at 23:04

I was also surprised when this happened to me first time. Maybe it should be made more prominent in the FAQ. – Ludwig Weinzierl Jul 18 '09 at 23:06

The policy should be changed. If the goal is to stop subjective discussion questions to community-wiki, subjective discussion questions should be move top community-wiki. The author of a question has no control over how many wrong answers are given to his question. – richardhoskins Jul 18 '09 at 23:09

Let me try that again. If the goal is to move a class of questions to community-wiki, just do that. – richardhoskins Jul 18 '09 at 23:11

@richardhoskins: I agree, the threshold of 10 seems a little harsh. I suggest letting Jeff know on the post I linked to earlier: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/6814/… – Kyle Cronin Jul 18 '09 at 23:22
@Kyle Cronin Thanks, I just added to the discussion on that post. – richardhoskins Jul 18 '09 at 23:50

That's dangerous, a malicious group of users could turn almost every post to wiki this way and not even pay the downvote penalties for bad answers. – kd304 Jul 19 '09 at 7:13
