I thought that the debate and the discussion was healthy for the whole community. This would give everyone a chance to read both insights before being given the chance to make an official vote. The purpose of consensus is to discuss. For some unknown reason to me, this wiki has decided to change the meaning of "consensus" to mean "use of voting templates". This is NOT how wiki's reach any kind of outcome, as a vote does not show anything whatsoever.

Basically, the goal here is to reach an outcome that everyone can agree to, without using any voting templates
