abstract
| - It is very difficult to maintain a consistency in a wiki, and thus this present policy is the most effective policy in doing so and keeping most of the people happy. This system is not perfect and is not meant to deny users and IPs the privilege of editing, though this is sometimes the case with protection and semi-protection. The editors of this site are essentially ruining it for themselves and enacting protections and semi-protections when they do not follow the rules. Yes, a few can ruin it for everybody. Additionally, when pages are heavily vandalized or need a form of protection, the community is in right agreement and consensus that it is the responsibility and right of administrators to handle the situation. The policy regarding semi-protection and protection is itself an already established consensus that is liable to change, and articles with protection and semi-protection can be requested to be unprotected at any time. This system of consensus does not promote elitism, priority, or any concept of "perfection" on Uncyclopedia. The policy on consensus is also liable to change at any time at the request of the community within a reasonable establishment of consensus that may be outside of the current policy on consensus (so as to avoid paradoxes that may collapse the universe). Finally, as per the Five Pliers of Uncyclopedia, the original author of a work does not own that work, even if it becomes featured. Uncyclopedia is content-free; articles are owned by the community at large and not by a single person or group so that any writing you contribute can be mercilessly edited and redistributed at will by the community.
