It is really about time that Wikipedia regulated the means by which policy changes are made. Personally, I've long been in favour of a policy making body. However, I understand many people prefer the "consensus model". But even if we stick to the consensus model, we perhaps should have a regularised means for closing the discussion and ruling where consensus lies. When we have an afd, an uninvolved admin closes. When the community considers adminship, a crat calls consensus. Is there a need for the selection of a group of trusted users who can be called upon to to declare (after discussion) when a policy change has consensus has been made? Perhaps we should have [[Wikipedia:Requests for policy change]], where an uninvolved crat or arb, or new class of user, closes the debate. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
