Consensuses checks are sometimes required where sufficient information is not available to make a valid and/or cannon decision. If a consensus is 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. There should be some discussion about the topic on the topic's talk page before a consensus check is created.

When users participate, they will be required to leave they're signature under the item/items that they are opposed to, with a basic explanation as to why the item is unsuitable. This method allows us to systematically remove all opposed items which will then allow us to reach a consensus.

Example

Consensus:EXAMPLE, DAY/MONTH/YEAR TIME

Item 1
--User1, This option goes against all previous information and is speculative

Item 2
--User2, This option is speculative at best

Format

When a consensus check is created it should follow a specific format. This enables us to create consistent standards throughout the Wiki.
