Battlestar Wiki talk:Think Tank/Poll Template

Discussion page of Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank/Poll Template

I can't visualize how this is going to work well, but I think it would take away from our normal way of getting consensus through discussion. We could just call votes as we always do, i thought. --The Merovingian (C - E) 19:49, 10 July 2006 (CDT)

Since I can't post a visual aid, I'm sorry. I can't explain it any better than I did. There is an example out on the template itself, but I can't show you an example of how it can work without violating the rules. --Shane (T - C - E) 19:56, 10 July 2006 (CDT)

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

Example

According to admins, I can post an example here. Since I have created the template in hope that it passes this is an example of what it could do.

Where this "would" be placed if being used: Battlestar Wiki:New User Survey (Not the talk page).

Template:Son-poll

This would be a quick reference tool for archiveable purposes. --Shane (T - C - E) 21:22, 10 July 2006 (CDT)

Possible Application

If we ever had a "polling station" or other centrally located article that had links to all the current polls/debates/etc. that were going on, such a summary (with a link to the actual debate) might be handy for getting an idea of where things were at. Unfortunately, you do end up risking sync issues (if the summaries aren't updated). --Steelviper 06:39, 11 July 2006 (CDT)

Vote

When: To end 6 days from now. --Shane (T - C - E) 13:57, 18 July 2006 (CDT) Support Reached: Figure out where this tenmplate can be used.
