Consensuses checks are sometimes required where sufficient information is not available to make an educated decision. If a consensus is then reached the article will then be renamed or moved as required.
Use
Consensuses checks should only be set up and used in situations where the information available is not enough to make a decision. The consensus check should run for a minimum of 24 hours before a decision is made.
To ensure a consensus is reached there should be a minimum of 10 or more user's input in the discussion before the consensus check is completed. There should be some discussion about the topic on the topic's talk page before a consensus check is created.
The Consensus should -
- Have at least 2 options available with space to add additional options
- Run for a minimum of 24 hours
- Include a minimum of 10 user's input
Standards
Before a consensus check can be created there must be a minimum amount of information available
| Item | Information Required |
