A comment to this question mentions "community wiki":

You could always self answer and mark as a community wiki so people can just expand on it as more are found

Being a member for (almost) 5 years I've never used such a feature. How can I mark an answer as a community wiki and what effect does it cause?

A related question — How should we use Community Wiki, Part III (but it assumes the reader already knows what a community wiki is, and it doesn't explain the technical part "how do I mark an answer for it")

What community wiki posts are is explained in the Help Center:

What are Community Wiki posts?

Community wiki posts are more easily editable by all users, and do not confer any reputation.

When you edit your answer, there's a checkbox underneath:

You'll get a popup for confirmation, and the community wiki status is only applied after you submit the edit anyway.
