+'''Consensus''' is a fundamental tenet of virtually all {{tag|wiki}} sites which rely on [[edit]]ing from a community of people.  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 through our own community input.  In practice, this can sometimes be difficult to achieve, especially when the community is small or many members are inactive.
