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. | '''Consensus''' is arrived at on WikiIndex through an oligarchical system.

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. | In some cases, a sysop's actions will be brought up for debate at the [[Project:Community portal|community portal]].
