DoWire Wiki:We

From DoWire Wiki

The name of this page is DoWire.Org:We.

The extension We here, after the name of the actual wiki, is the Royal We: a wiki best practice that makes clear that this is consensus or perhaps unanimous statement of all users - an explicit social contract, basis of the social capital that they share in all participating "here".

Such statements may direct the wiki's mission or contest its basic assumptions. Similarly, DoWire.Org:Itself is to be linked whenever users make such re/defining statements: what "we" say about DoWire "itself", is what it "is".

If there is any statement that seems to imply or require consensus of all users on another page, there should be also a link to DoWire:We to make it easier to find those comments from this page itself, by using the special page What links here. This makes formal consensus decision making methods much easier to apply.

See en: Consumerium: we for an example of how this is done. When there are disagreements factions or even troll factions may develop their own concept of "who's we" and we, trolls- see social inclusion.

New Trolls welcome!

Note that potential, not just actual, users can be included in DoWire.Org:We, in fact they always are - see New Troll point of view for more on this, and Lowest Troll for how to guarantee it.
