Wikipedia:Do not rely on consensus
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Do not rely on consensus in your voting, comments and actions. Always rely on your own judgement only. Remember sometimes, maybe most of the times, consensus is nothing else, but a herd effect.
