I'll try to be clearer.

As you might know, the comments section of this Wikia's articles serves mainly for users to decide what images/quotes use in said articles. In those cases, the voting is strictly yes/no or agree/disagree, with the possibility of suggesting other quotes/images instead. In the comments section, we say that 5 agreements on using or not using an image/quote is enough to call it a consensus.

Now on the forum discussions, for things a bit more important than a simple image or quote edit, such as the creation of a page, the discussion is ussually longer and takes more than 5 users to decide. It does not strictly require a specific number of users agreeing or disagreeing on the suggestion. Instead, the forum discussions are a place to find a consensus through discussing and presenting points of view and ideas. In the end, mostly everyone but one or two users end up rooting for either YES or NO, regardless of how many users have "voted". Does it make more sense now?
