This page describes what it means to be done with the UniversalWikiEditButton ConsensusPoll.
We're Done When ...
We are definitely done with this version of the UniversalWikiEditButton if we can reach and maintain the levels of consensus described in this section.
GoThresholds
- We need at least 90% of at least 10 ActiveMembers of Wikitravel to be at YES on the current version of the icon.

DoneTimer
- The "Edit This" Button stays above the GoThresholds and remains unchanged for at least 48 hours. Each time the icon changes the DoneTimer resets to zero.
Inactivity
- InactivityCycle for this consensus poll is 6 days.
- Consensus Poll Participants who do not respond to messages left on their status page within a time period specified by the InactivityCycle, are notified after the first InactivityCycle is complete through an Inactivity notice posted on their status page. If they remain inactive for another InactivityCycle after the "Inactivity notice" has been posted, they can be moved to an Inactive status, which means that their participation in the consensus poll will remain suspended until they remove the notice. Inactive participants can remove the inactivity notice from their status page and reset their status at anytime before the DoneTimer expires.
How to participate
If you don't feel strongly about this decision, please feel warmly welcomed to work on other things. If you are feeling ProcessFatigue please feel warmly welcomed to take a break. Before leaving, please consider leaving either a yes or not yet status with an explanatory comment.
Taking a break while leaving a yes status means:
- "Given the GoThresholds for this poll and the people who are participating it feels extremely unlikely that this poll could succeed without creating a high quality "edit this page" icon. I trust you all to watch out for my interests and come to a good decision. If the GoThresholds were lower, or if Suzy Trustworthy wasn't actively participating I might feel otherwise. I know that Suzy Trustworthy will ping me if I need to become involved again. So, have at it friends and know that I support your effort in spirit even if I can't actively participate right now."
Taking a break while leaving a not yet status means:
- "Given the GoThresholds for this poll and the people who are participating it feels like this poll might pass even if the icon isn't high quality. If the GoThresholds were higher, or if Suzy Trustworthy was actively participating I might feel otherwise. But since the thresholds are so low and no one I know from my own personal experience to be trustworthy is involved, I'm going to ensure that the final results are better by leaving my vote a not yet. The plan can still succeed, it will just require higher levels of support to counteract my not yet."
If the icon in its current form doesn't speak to you, please directly edit the icon. No need to explain your every edit, just tweak the icon until it works for you. (EfficientlyExpressedSuggestions)
