<p>Localise template catalogue and editorial guidance for the independent wiki</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Consensus&#039;&#039;&#039; provides local editorial guidance for the independent Elite Dangerous Wiki. Apply it alongside [[Project:Community standards|community standards]] and [[Project:Policies|existing local policies]].<br /> <br /> == Reach agreement through reasons ==<br /> Discuss a disputed change on the relevant talk page. Explain the problem, cite evidence and propose specific wording or a practical alternative. Consider all relevant contributions on their merits, including those from new editors. Agreement is based on reasons and existing local standards, not a count of votes or an editor&#039;s status.<br /> <br /> == Changing an established approach ==<br /> Describe what would change and why. Allow affected editors a reasonable opportunity to respond before treating a major restructuring as settled. Silence is not permanent approval, and new evidence can justify reopening a decision. Summarise the outcome so later editors can understand it.<br /> <br /> == Unresolved disputes ==<br /> Avoid repeated reversions. Ask uninvolved editors or a local administrator for help when discussion stalls. This wiki does not acquire another site&#039;s arbitration bodies or sanctions by importing its templates. See [[Project:Dispute]].<br /> <br /> [[Project:Editorial guidance|Editorial guidance directory]]</div>
