Consensus reporting refers to the project of locating discussions among editors on topics of importance, whether niche or otherwise, and distilling any consensus reached in such discussions into essays for future reference. Though not an essential task, consensus reporting helps to identify general principles which can be used to illuminate future editorial decisions. As with virtually any task on the English Wikipedia, consensus reporting is something anyone can contribute to.
