::The trouble is that your 2nd category is really ''two'' seperate categories: "no consensus either way, but one may develop following further discussion" and "no consensus, either way, at present or likely in future". Stale proposals should not ''indefinitely'' be tagged with {{tl|proposed}}. If discussion of a proposal peters out with no conclusion, because of lack of interest, then that's closure of sorts and it shouldn't be marked as an active discussion.--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] ([[User talk:Nilfanion|talk]]) 13:00, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

::[[w:Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines#failed|en.wp policy]] lumps no consensus and active rejection together - what matters most is the non-approval of the proposal, not whether it was resoundingly rejected or splits the community. An example here is [[Commons:Sexual content]] which had no consensus either way (it was almost exactly 50:50).--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] ([[User talk:Nilfanion|talk]]) 13:00, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
