I'm not sure what this does that can't be accomplished with a new header, a few lines of text, and the (attractive) {{tl|support}}, {{tl|neutral}}, and {{tl|oppose}} templates. --[[User:April Arcus|April Arcus]] 20:01, 10 July 2006 (CDT)

# [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin Jr.]] - {{oppose}} I'm not too much a fan of polling. If there was a technical way we could implement this (say, a simple to use form that would update the counts), then I may support such an endeavor. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 02:24, 19 July 2006 (CDT)

Could be then as simple as '''<nowiki>{{pollvote|Question|Support|Oppose|Neutral}}</nowiki>''' and never have to worry about user input... so get rid of the "question", "time", "users", and "dates tarted". That's an idea. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 02:33, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
: But what's the point without auto-updating percentages/numbers? And ''with'' auto-updating numbers, I'd be wary of the potential for lame, dumb bugs. I'm sure they could be ferreted out, but I don't see there being much of a pay off at all for the amount of work it could be. --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]] - [http://hiver.swordofthestars.com/ SotS])</sup> 14:58, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
