I'm amused by the idea that you can link to community consensus. We need 
a picture of thousands of Wikipedians sitting at their computer with 
either smiles or frowns, which we can link to at times like this. Since 
consensus is supposed to be emergent of the wiki process on Wikipedia, 
per foundation principles, I'm not sure what you mean.  Didn't they link 
to the situation and its resolution? How would that not be a consensus?
