With this in mind, I'd like to know how everyone feels about consensus and how it should be applied on this wiki. I realise this isn't exactly the most upbeat thing to be bringing up but it's important. I know I'd prefer utilising the two-thirds/66% decision rule but I'm more interested in what everyone else thinks. {{GGsig}} 12:30, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 
:I agree with the general two-thirds/66% decision rule, but I think sometimes it really depends. If it's a sensitive issue and both sides feel very strongly about it, we should remember that strength of argument is more valuable than number of votes, i.e. quality > quantity. When such an issue arises, we should try to reach a compromise and attempt to please everyone involved as much as possible; we don't really have a set policy about what to do under those circumstances. We should also do the same if consensus isn't reached, but support for both sides are abundant. It's never great to choose one side over the other, unless there is an ''overwhelming'' consensus, as in, more than 90%. —[[User:Random Ranaun|<font color="#008000">Random Ranaun</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:Random Ranaun|<font color="#00FF00">Talk to me!</font>]])</sup> 12:53, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
