A '''faction tag''' is a prefix on a page that identifies clearly what [[faction]]s approve of it in its present state or not. It's probably key to getting [[inter-faction consensus]] and minimizing use of [[factionally defined]] terms in analysis. ---- ''A proposition of how this would work from [[OurAnswer]]:'' A '''faction tag''' is a prefix to a page that says something like: :''This page approved by [[OurAnswer:Greens]]. No other [[faction]] has commented.'' The purpose of this tag is to make clear to any [[new troll]] that at least one non-troll faction must approve before something is guaranteed to stay in the same name space with non-troll work. It also tells other [[faction]]s that if they do not comment, then the decisions are likely to be made by the only/few factions that care. If, for instance, the "Reds" check out the page and make '''''no edits''''', they can then change the '''faction tag''' to: :''This page approved by [[OurAnswer:Greens]] and [[OurAnswer:Reds]]. No other [[faction]] has commented.'' But if they '''''did any substantial edit'''' they must instead change it to: :''This page approved by [[OurAnswer:Reds]]. [[OurAnswer:Greens]] approved an [[earlier version]]. No other [[faction]] has commented or edited this page.'' The '''tag''' must be kept short, simple, standard, and include links to the earlier version or relevant comment. For instance if the [[OurAnswer:Blues]] say "this page should not exist", that must be also referred somewhere in tags. ---- For pages factions will always differ on, such as theories of [[economics]], the faction tag might help move alone agreement on a few central definitions like the [[glossary]]. For policy, it is important to know who has agreed so the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] isn't "taking sides" in disputes, and moves only on those things that have a broad base of multi-faction support. For some things, though, [[multiple point of view]] is the only solution. This includes irreconcilable factional terms that only those factions really use and which prejudice discourse, and also situations where they don't agree on facts. === references === So far only one [[MediaWiki]]-based service has debated this issue at all, see http://ouranswer.org/ discourse on factions.
