:::::New consensus was thus formed by new practice. No discussion is required for a new consensus to be established; if everyone else follows suit, it can be assumed that the consensus was changed. Anyways, I've set up [[Special:AbuseFilter/47|filter 47]] to catch these kinds of edits. Testing showed that it catches the edits I want it to catch. I've set it to warn only for now (since the outdated version of the extension Wikia uses doesn't allow for a custom disallow message) in the hopes that this will get the message across. If they keep adding it (and the [[Special:AbuseLog|filter log]] will tell), then I'll tighten the settings. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 11:57, April 16, 2019 (UTC)
::::::This is only tangentially related, but we ought to devise some way of tracking ideas that have received either formal consensus or have been adopted into widespread practice. The reason I bring this up is because it is difficult to enforce a particular rule if there is no way to demonstrate definitively that a rule exists. There might also be disagreement about whether a consensus or standard truly exists if said standard isn't "officially" adopted by way of a community discussion. I don't disagree with the fact that some practices are standard enough to enforce despite having no formal discussion to implement them, but it would be useful (especially for new editors who will likely be unfamiliar with our practices) to have these standards written down somewhere.
