consensus can change a small group of editors can reach a consensual decision but when the article gains wider attention others may then disagree the original group should not block further change on grounds that they already have made a decision wikipedia's decisions are ever changing because new people visit every day and through new information and new ideas we may gain insights we did not have previously it is important that there is a way to challenge past decisions however these decisions were reached decisions should therefore practically never be binding in the sense that the decision cannot be taken back emphasis added also see the flowchart at that page particularly the first two boxes i came across the article that was in a previous consensus and made a change that should not no can not be considered vandalism talk contribs furthermore i'm not actually convinced consensus has been reached here with regard to the port spinoff version other term debate from what i can tell by going through all the comments here strongly believes that spinoff is the only acceptable term isn't sure but believes port is definitely not the right term and leans slightly toward other versions and at least one unsigned comment all believe that spinoff is not appropriate and that version should be chosen as while less specific is not inaccurate by any interpretation supports spinoff but feels there might be some other better term nobody has thought of believes that a variety of terms should be used votes for spinoff so out of eight contributors we have one very strong supporter of spinoff two more moderate supporters of spinoff three supporters of version and one slight support and one supporter of all of the above so i have two questions have i summarized everyone's position accurately is there really a consensus here i don't think there is yet talk contribs
