For those of you following at home, who may be as
confused by this
response as I was, I think Nemo's referring to the list of interwiki
links for [[Wikipedia:Consensus]], implying that yes, many projects do
have an equivalent concept.
I haven't been able to figure out whether or not any of them have
managed to define that concept in a reasonable manner, though.
The chinese version was originally a translation from an earlier english version. It was
later customized a little. It says basically in the best situation a consensus is a result
of a discussion when no one opposes that result. But in most cases such an ideal consensus
is not possible so a pole is needed in such a situation. The result of a pole is not a
consensus, but it most likely reflects how the majority of the community see the problem
and thus a mean to find a consensus. In most cases if 2/3 of the voters are in agreement
then it is considered a quite good consensus. In some cases a more higher percentage is
needed (for example for admin an agreement of 85% is needed and for bureaucrats an
agreement of 90% is needed).
