The dichotomy of "editors" not being "users" is false. We're a subset of readership. We should not use our judgement to assume what readers want arbitrarily, but using common sense is different. Spoiler
Of course we should. We're here to write an encyclopaedia. For readers. Who will never tell us what they want. We have to make thousands of assumptions in that process. What fonts to use? Unicode or ASCII? Should [[Georgia]] be about the US state or the country? Or neither? Are photos or diagrams better? Should we use thumbnails or larger images?
A bit of intuition, discussion, and yes, common sense, go a long way in answering these quetsions.
