I don't think that we need to make any policy updates before deciding this subject. We have discussed the need to update our policies and help pages before but nothing gets done. I recently updated our Copyrights policy to reflect this change almost seven years later. We have policies by convention which could be contradicted by written policy but then policy page should be just updated. Some obscure sentence on a policy page can't substitute the convention.

Proposed voting threshold feels quite strict and even hostile for new contributors, especially if enforced on content disputes. Threshold would be quite strict even for candidates for admin rights as I had been contributing actively to the site only 10 months before gotten admin rights. I would have filled nominal requirements because I have been non-active member long enough. Same thing with Annabell who had been active only 6 months. I think it would be very harmful for us to prohibit new contributors from participating community decisions as those situations could even drive them away from editing. It would also be morally questionable if someone has heavily contributed to the site for months and then his voice is not even heard but some old beard who has practically left the site could give a vote. Also, I'm not quite sure how the proposed vetting could work in practice. Could you elaborate little or even write it to Marvel Database:Consensus.
