When consensus is reached the relevant pages are updated accordingly. In general major changes (such as the one in discussion) is voted upon by the entire community. Not five or six editors but hundreds of editors. The voting happens after there is an agreement on the general principles - even if such an agreement is partial or temporary. During the vote people are given the option to support/oppose different approaches. In the course of the site many principles were adopted in this manner.
