I mean is there someone who made the final decision?
In theory that's me, and for anything that really affects real policy in a real way, it should be discussed before implemented. On the other hand, lots of minor changes go in whenever the developers feel like it.
Erik instituted subpages on talk and user spaces and asked the world about it at the same time that it was installed. That wasn't really best practice. It turned out o.k., though, because in the ensuing discussion it turned out that I was pretty much the only person against it.
Generally, though, major things should be discussed before being implemented.
What counts as major versus minor? Well, that's a judgment call sometimes.
