Wikipedia:Consensus is a Wikipedia policy page, describing its Consensus policy for editing page content. It explains the consensus editing process whereby "Decision-making involves an effort to incorporate all editors' legitimate concerns, while respecting Wikipedia's norms." [1] Its two main sections cover Achieving Consensus and Determining Consensus. Subsequent sections provide related notes and policies.

Achieving consensus can happen in three ways: through editing, through discussion, and (in cases of conflict) through consensus-building.

In the former, Wikipedia's policy states that "Any edit that is not disputed or reverted by another editor can be assumed to have consensus." [2]
