Hi/Bona vesprada,
Without meaning at all that I do not respect the results of this voting, I
would like to call the attention to the fact that out of 3097 votes,
practically 2000 are circumscribed to only 4 big home wikis: en.wiki (1000),
de.wiki (500), fr.wiki (200) and es.wiki (150).
Imho it is somehow concerning that 2/3 of the votes of such a key policy are
heavily relying on the weight of those major projects. I understand the
constraints in participation, but it isn't either a trivial value -considering
how much do we read about the WMF efforts to promote the so-called “Global
South” communities and the minority language wikis.
There is a great essay on English Wikipedia, ["Wikipedia:Silence does not imply
consent when drafting new
policies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Silence_does_not_imply_consent_when_drafting_new_policies)",
that has a very thoughtful background and that I like very much to remind:
"Silence implies consensus" is an old standby on Wikipedia. However, with
regard to new policies and guidelines, this cannot apply, and silence should
instead imply either indifference or a lack of proper exposure. If a proposal
produces indifference in the community, it is not necessary. If a proposal has
not been adequately exposed to the community, there is no just cause for
implementing it as policy.
Kind regards/Salutacions,
Xavier Dengra
