WikiIndex:Consensus: Difference between revisions

'''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 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.

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 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 [[user]]s 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 can undo them, or that person may have their rights modified.
