First, I did give an argument. In the talk page. So kindly don't pretend I didn't in the edit summary: it's insulting, and it shows that you did not actually bother to check or to listen before trying to lecture. Second, nobody is saying that consensus is needed before any change. Rather, that if a change is seriously contested, as this one clearly is, then it makes sense for the status quo ante to hold while the discussion is taking place. So again, don't misrepresent the argument being made. Magidin (talk) 19:11, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

The relevant discussion is happening at Talk:Fermat's Last Theorem. I copied this comment over and replied there. Lagrange613 15:05, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

From a bureaucratic POV, void of any context, one is correct in claiming the right of adding that box, but I want to inform you about a previous held discussion at the TP of Project Math, inclined to "not using this box". Even setting aside this fact, I am convinced of my right to revert the addition, and to require a discussion for reaching a consensus on the article's TP. Upsetting the BRD-process for my not explicit referral to a discussion elsewhere seems wrong under any circumstances. Re-adding the box prior to a consensus looks like the possible start of an edit war. Purgy (talk) 09:00, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

This user posted an almost identical message to the talk page where the discussion is happening. I've replied there. Lagrange613 15:01, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

I'll just add here that I've edited the article in question once since 2014, so the implication that I'm edit warring is baseless. Lagrange613 15:08, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
