Since this is my talk page, I archive it to suit me; this means archives may be reorganised to group material by content instead of by date.
In the close at Template talk:WikiProject banner shell#RFC on WikiProject Banner shell redesign, you noted "The new version should remain in use but should be de-coloured for the time being, unless and until we reach consensus on fully accessible colour choices":
You raised some excellent points which none of us in the discussion had considered. I'm not yet decided on whether it's worth trying to get consensus now in light of those policies in a new discussion, but will consider it over the next couple of days. Riposte97 (talk) 02:11, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your recent close. Since you directed part of your close to my good faith effort to find a consensus where you wrote A user has tried to extend this discussion, and I'm afraid that's not how RfCs work.
Let me simply point out what WP:RFC actually says...
It's difficult to argue that an 18-13 vote is apparent that a consensus won't be reached if there's additional comment. In fact, there were eight comments after I extended the RFC. I agree that Volunteer time is Wikipedia's limiting resource, and RfCs are expensive
which is why getting a consensus on this question is useful because there's been about 15 infobox RFCs over the last 14 months. Almost all of those discussions ended in consensus with wider input than just the infobox regulars.
I'm not going to challenge the close because it's close enough to be closed in either direction, but I would ask for you to remove the comment directed towards my good faith effort to find a long term consensus since it's a perfectly reasonable way to find consensus per WP:RFC.
