On Wikipedia "consensus" is used to mean "consensus of people that decided to express an opinion". We don't hold referendums on policy decisions. Every time a proposal for a new system of selecting admins has been discussed, it has been rejected. That is a consensus to keep things pretty much as they are. It's possible that some new proposal might gain approval, but none have so far.
I realize I am straying from the main subject of this thread, but I wanted to ask a question based on what was said above. When a new proposal (in whatever area) is presented, how and where is the final decision made as to whether that proposal becomes policy or not; and who ultimately makes it?
