Slide 10 : WikiEducator a Community of Educators November 7, 2009 Workgroups Consensus is one of a range of policies regarding how editors work with each other. Editors typically reach a consensus as a natural outcome of wiki-editing. Someone makes a change to a page, then everyone who reads the page has an opportunity to leave it as it is, or change it. When two or more editors cannot reach an agreement by editing, consensus is sought on the talk (discussion) pages.
