"Oh no, someone is getting rep from a post" is not and has never been a reason to convert something to community wiki. (cc @RobertH) If it turns out that the canonical question and the answer are being continuously maintained by multiple people, we can think about flipping the switch. In the meantime, calling people rep whores for posting what is objectively good, well-intentioned, and well-written content is, at best, counterproductive. — Anna Lear ♦May 6 at 16:50
@LaszloPapp: the primary purpose of votes is to highlight good content and drown bad content. If you downvote good content just because it was posted by user X, you're not doing the system a favor. You shouldn't judge self-answered questions any differently from normal questions. If it's crap, downvote (& close if appropriate).
Simple math:
4 + 1 = 5, not 21.
I believe there was a recent change counting all posts one can review (except Close queue of course) instead of only suggested edits, but still... there shouldn't be such a big difference.
As of a few minutes ago, we are replacing the pending suggested edit count in the top bar with the number of pending reviews for diamond moderators and folks with the "moderation tools" privilege (i.e. 10k users on graduated sites and whatever that level's at on betas):

"We are excluding the Close Vote queue from this on Stack Overflow" in Anna Lear's answer. Not a bug.
if it looks like a typo, I'll generally swap out the tag for the right one, or if it looks like a genuine new one then see if I can do a wiki entry for it

"From the way your question is written, some might mistakenly think you want us to write your code for you, which would be off-topic. I guess you simply want help with your own code, so could you please show us what you've written so far?"
If I had the impression it was only complete beginners asking that, I might disagree @AmalMurali. But there seems to be a surprising amount of hired "professionals" at a similar level.

@LaszloPapp My intention was to solve the error which message was stated in the question. Further localizing the issue it showed up that building Qt didn't help. While I thank you for your help, I think you should delete this answer. — danijar1 min ago
The problem with such edits is that after a few months (or maybe years), you may get downvoted for not addressing the problem in the question. So I just the edit back (where appropriate).
yeah, it is bad, but it is more demotivating to deal with such users who do not listen to you when coming to the site, at least for me. I think the main problem is not only low-quality questions because collaborative people will improve it, but crap questions married with crap attitude.
I did several rollbacks in the past, and it just brought in nightmare arguments.
You realize that you are telling a person who tried to help you to remove the correct answer for a question which your original question contained? — Laszlo Papp12 secs ago

(Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.)
@user2284570 I'm not sure why that was declined but I just voted to close that question because in my opinion it IS a question to find a tool....only the moderator that declined your flag can explain why it was declined.
stackoverflow.com/q/23493897/2284570RESULT : declined - It was marked as helpful as it was undergoing review in the Close Votes queue. It still is, and I see no urgent reason to close this right now.

Since all questions on Stack Overflow are about programming, programming-languages is useless.
