Extension:Vote

A MediaWiki extension to provide a user-friendly graphical user interface for votes conducted on wiki pages.

Usage
To add a vote to a page you just add the  tag as follows:

This extension then turns this tag into a web form with radio buttons for the available options (approve, oppose and abstain) and a textarea to attach a comment to the vote. When you submit the form, the extension simply edits the page, inserting a new line before the closing tag. By storing the votes in the page text all the changes are conveniently and transparently tracked in the page history.

Additional features include:


 * The votes are automatically tallied.
 * You can change your vote by just submitting the form again (your last vote counts).
 * An end date may be specified for the vote with the  attribute e.g. with   the vote will close on the 15th October 2022 at 23:59 in the wiki timezone. After the deadline the web form to add new votes disappears.
 * A vote may be cancelled by adding the  attribute, e.g..
 * Any line within the  tag that does not start with   is skipped when tallying, so it is possible to reply to votes by editing the wikitext, e.g:


 * 2022-10-14 12:28 Alice: NO I am concerned that ...
 * Some reply to Alice ... --~


 * 2022-10-14 12:30 Bob: YES I think that ...

Pages with open votes are by default tracked in the  category (which can be customized by editing  ).
