Any ideas on how we can gauge the acceptability of a rule, especially a naming convention?
Perhaps if site statistics are available votes could be tallied and normalized against the number of repeat logged in editors in the last 90 days. A percentage count of supporters amongst regulars along with the comments might provide some insight.
For example: If we have 30 regulars in the quorum call period and 10 have registered positive votes and 6 negative ones. We have 30% registered votes for and 20% against.
The percentages could be recalculated once a day or when a vote is registered.
The rules could be sorted based on the ratio of for/against so the listing portrays the level of community consensus, strongest custom at the top to the weakest at the bottom.
Linking to the discussion pages enables an ongoing poll as long as only logged in users can vote.
