'''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.
