Hmm. I think enwiki has the benefit of having the

extensive development of its policies under a consensus model.
Note that the consensus of current active community members is
inherently a poor guideline for policies that are intended to increase

bring in aren't there to be part of the consensus.
Majority/consensus opinion are generally not the best way to ensure
that a minority is protected either. [0]
