The original author still receives notifications for substantial edits, suggested edits, and comments on the post. The user listed in the author box need not be the original author. Rather, it is the user with the highest percentage of authorship in the final revision, determined by the number of lines inserted or deleted, with a bonus factor of 2 for the original author.
Note that the name shown is calculated upon each edit and cached , so if the user later changes their display name, their previous name will still be displayed until the post is edited again. There are only three ways that a post becomes community wiki. Miscellaneous Rollbacks cannot remove community wiki status.
Improve this answer. So basically the only benefit is to enable users with a low reputation to edit the post? Or did I miss something? I don't do substantial edits to other users' answers. I do formatting, grammar fixes etc.

I really like how balanced and matured SE is nowadays, but Community Wiki is the one feature that doesn't seem well thought out. Seems like the only purpose is to remove rep, which maybe has its niche cases, but also sounds like kind of a screw-you to the author.
True, I was about to make something a community wiki, but I stopped. Just like ManoharReddyPoreddy I, too, was debating making an extensive answer into a community wiki, but then reading this post basically "talked me out of it". No advantage; only disadvantage. I would have assumed that the answer would at least have increased exposure to those looking for an answer covered within, but as far as I can tell it's still just based on the regular vote system.
Unfortunate if an answer was down-voted before substantial improvement wiki or not because it may never see the light of day Does the vote count of a community wiki question get reset if it was originally downvoted?
From the last section of The Future of Community Wiki article it sounds to me like it should be used only when you or even no one can't provide a complete answer alone and want others to help you with this.
Stephen how is it a screw-you to the author? You can just not do it if you want. I did not mark it as such myself. Also, it has next to no edits by other users. I did not realize someone could just switch it up like that. I agree with you then, seems like it needs more thinking through.
