-Consensus is arrived at on WikiIndex through an oligarchical system. Sysops are appointed and dismissed by bureaucrats who are accountable to no one but each other. Any sysop can unilaterally take an action such as blocking a user or deleting an article. If no other sysop reverses the action, then it stands. Once a pattern of such actions has been identified, the practice and the principle behind it can be codified by any user as an official WikiIndex policy.
+{{Draft policy}}
+'''Consensus''' is a fundamental tenet of virtually all {{tag|wiki}} sites which rely on [[edit]]ing from a community of people.  {{tag|Consensus}} is arrived at here on {{tag|WikiIndex}} through discussion, in the first instance on the [[talk page]] of individual articles.  There is a hierarchy on this site for technical and legal reasons, but decision-making is strongly encouraged from all WikiIndex [[user]]s via their own community input.  In practice, this may sometimes be difficult to achieve, especially because our WikiIndex community is small, or many members are inactive.
-In some cases, a sysop's actions will be brought up for debate at the [[Project:Community portal|community portal]]. However, the community's decision there is strictly advisory, as regular users have no power to reverse a decision made by a sysop.
+The <tt>WikiIndex.org</tt> domain name is [[Owner|owned]] by [[Raymond King]], aka Ray King, who also edits under his username {{U|Rathbone}}.  King also provides the hosting service and the backup data.  The [[:Category:Wiki People|people]] who work for Raymond King have the backend access to the server.  The actual content of this WikiIndex wiki site is made available under the [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 3.0 unported]] licence, and as such is owned by its contributing authors.  [[Sysop]]s, correctly known as [[WikiIndex:Administrators|administrators]], are appointed by [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]].  Any WikiIndex sysop can take an action, such as blocking and / or [[banning]] a users account or [[Template:Delete|deleting]] an article.  If no other sysop reverses the action, then their decision stands.  Sysops making contentious actions can be discussed at the [[WikiIndex:Community portal]].  If the majority of the community finds these actions unacceptable, other sysops may then undo or revert them, or that person may have their rights modified.
