:::::So basically, it can be harder to promulgate a written policy than to impose the practices that create a de facto policy. Any user can revert a change to a policy page, but only a sysop can take the sysop actions that policies reflect.

::::::Welcome to Wikilandia.

:::::::Yes, in this case it was '' | :::::::Yes, in this case it was ''three'' sysops who established a community practice since our wiki isn't quite small enough that it would've happened with the support of only one.
