විකිපීඩියා:Of course it's voting
 | මෙම පිටුව ඉංග්රීසි ව්යාපෘතියෙන් මෙහි ගෙනවිත් ඇත. අන්තර්ගතය අපගේ ව්යාපෘතිය සමඟ 100% නොගැලපෙනමුත් අපගේ අවශ්යතාවයන් වලට අනුකූලව ගොඩනගා ගැනීම සඳහා මූලික පියවර ලෙස භාවිතා කළ හැකිය. |
 | මෙය රචනාවකි. මෙහි විකිපීඩියාවේ සංස්කාරකවරයකුගේ හෝ කිහිපදෙනෙකුගේ උපදෙස් සහ අදහස් දැක්වෙයි. මෙම පිටුව විශ්වකෝෂ ලිපියක් හෝ විකිපීඩියාවේ ප්රතිපත්ති හෝ මාර්ගෝපදේශ වලින් එකක් නොවේ. මෙය ප්රජාව විසින් හොඳින් අධ්යයනය කොට පිළිගැනීමට ලක් වූවක් ද නොවේ. සමහර රචනා පුළුල් ප්රතිමානයන් (widespread norms) නිරූපණය කරන අතර; අනෙක්වා සුළුතර මත පමණක් නිරූපණය කරයි. මෙම අදහස් බුද්ධිමත් ලෙසින් සලකා බලන්න. |
 | මෙම පිටුවේ අඩංගු කරුණු සැකෙවින්: Consensus is weighted voting. |
Oft-heard on Wikipedia is the notion Consensus is not voting!, most often by an editor on the short end of a vote. Any serious evaluation of common Wikipedia practices leads to the realization this is not true. If consensus was truly not voting, the following logical consequences would occur:
- Votes of the form "support per nom" or "oppose per John Doe" would be ignored as pointlessly redundant.
- We wouldn't care about socking in discussions.
- We wouldn't care about canvassing.
- There would be no snow closes.
In fact, the policy page itself links to an information page which explains: "If the discussion shows that some people think one policy is controlling, and some another, the closer is expected to close by judging which view has the predominant number of responsible Wikipedians supporting it, not personally select which is the better policy. The closer is not expected to decide the issue, just to judge the result of the debate, and is expected to know policy sufficiently to know what arguments are to be excluded as irrelevant." (emphasis added)
What this means in practice is although consensus is voting, it is weighted, not all votes count, nor count the same. IPs, accounts created five minutes before posting a vote, and editors who are obviously bat-shit crazy[1] probably will not have their votes counted, or counted less than established editors.

Notes
[සංස්කරණය]- ^ Per our no personal attacks, there's no need to point out on-wiki that the editor is bat-shit crazy – just weigh the vote appropriately if you're a closer (possibly mentioning that the argument
is bat-shit crazydoes not conform to Wikipedia rules and practice).
