Consensus

Consensus is what a Wikipedia "we" mob reaches so as not to hurt its members. Even if the outgroup disagrees.

Example:

• "We have reached consensus that 1 + 1 = 3." So it must be true.
• "We have reached consensus that Encyclopedia Dramatica is an attack site." So it must be true.
• "We have reached consensus on no original research." So "original research" is bad.
• "We have reached a consensus that rape is bad because we are dickless morons."
• "We have reached a consensus on how a fucking magnet works - Magick!"

Among other such important shit.

Consensus is part of a series on Wikipedia Visit the Wikipedia Portal for complete coverage.
