Kinda funny. You thought you were answering a question. What you were actually doing was volunteering to maintain a wiki page.

- the_af 6y agoYou are not mandated though. If you don't want to maintain it, just accept the downvotes. If you have 14K rep, getting downvotes from a couple of obsolete answers is no big deal. When it starts to become a big deal, you can always do something about it -- or alternatively, you can opt to do nothing about it and accept the rep hit, again no big deal.
- cutemonster 6y agoThat's from your perspective > downvotes ... is no big deal Some ppl feel sad and anxious about downvotes. The no big deal solution doesn't work with everyone.
- pelasaco 6y agointeresting point. I fully agree with that. Every answer is a wiki page. However I strong believe that if the question isn't specific about versions, an answer to an old version of code (gem/pip/etc version X, instead of master) still right. Example if for the question "How to print to stdout with python", the answer " print 'foo'" is right, you just have to use python2.. it is maybe staled, outdated, but not wrong.
