::::Carrite, you have just defined the fundamental problem and the fundamental solution. Lack of a constitution, and our need for one. <b style="color: #0000cc;">''North8000''</b> ([[User talk:North8000#top|talk]]) 11:32, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

:::The question to me seems to be: do we really do not have a constitution, or is it just not codified, like the one of the UK? The community has, over time, come up with different solutions for different problems: be it policies, essays, you name it etc......all in all the apporaches sometimes took their time, but work remarkably well overall (some glitches and hunches included, of course). All of these factors and things contribute to a very specific Wikipedia-culture, which, in its entirety, might actually add up to something which might be considered an uncodified constitution, so to speak. And so I think the community, in greater numbers than have participated until now, needs to speak up, loudly, as to what it wants.
