How do you put detail under your question?

Unlike other question & answer sites, WikiAnswers does not have a function to put details about your question on the same page as your question appears. You can, however, add exposition and details in the Discussion area associated with every question on the site, and this is where it is recommended that such appear. WikiAnswers chose long ago to keep the question and answer page as clean as possible, but the designers knew that some questions need further details. The point here is that others can read the details you leave in the discussion area, and tailor the answer to the question, using those details. The focus remains on the question and the answer only.

Are you allowed to put emails in your answers?

It is better if your answer is self-contained rather than asking people to email you for more information. Actually, WikiAnswers policy is that private details, such as eMail addresses, not be put in questions or answers. This is because WikiAnswers is a repository of questions and answers shared by the community, and not just by the few.

Why was 200 chosen to be the character limit for a question's length on WikiAnswers?

This was chosen through trial and error. Our goal was to enable questions to be long enough so that they can include any necessary details, but not be so long that they end up including personal details that would make any answers only relevant to the person asking the question the first time.To provide enough room for an answer. Limiting the characters keeps it down to one question.
