[WikiEN-l] Consensus (was To boldy delete what no one had deleted before!)

[White Cat]

When consensus is reached the relevant pages are updated accordingly. In
general major changes (such as the one in discussion) is voted upon by the
entire community. Not five or six editors but hundreds of editors. The
voting happens after there is an agreement on the general principles - even
if such an agreement is partial or temporary. During the vote people are
given the option to support/oppose different approaches.
In the course of the site many principles were adopted in this manner.
