Clear Consensus Threshold: Simple majority is enough when choosing between two options. In cases where there are three or more options, maybe if there is no clear majority for one of them, a second round can take place.

Open/Closed Balloting: I don't believe that a vote should be open to everyone. And I'm not saying it because of new users who could not understand the large scope of the subject being voted. At the MCU Wiki, I caught at least two things that made me realize a vote open to everyone is not fair. First, the case of sockpuppets, people with multiple accounts who have edited in the wiki, and unless caught, would count as two different votes. Also, I've seen people, even other admins, go to other wikis and ask former editors to come and vote their option, and with an open vote, their vote has the same value as the ones from editors who currently work hard to build the wiki.

Both situations are extremely unfair, but "legal" in case a vote is open to everyone.

Total Duration: I think that a full week is long enough to make a vote once everything has been discussed and options have been narrowed down.
