Extension:PollNY

The PollNY extension defines a new namespace for polls (NS_POLL, the namespace number is 300 by default) and 6 new special pages for poll creation/administration.

Polls can be embedded on normal wiki pages with the  tag. Syntax is:.

Special:AdminPoll can be used by users with 'polladmin' rights to view all polls and administer them, Special:CreatePoll is used to create new polls, Special:RandomPoll takes you to a randomly chosen poll, Special:UpdatePoll is like action=edit for polls and Special:ViewPoll can be used by all users to view available polls.

These new special pages (with the exception of Special:UpdatePoll) will show up on Special:SpecialPages in the "Polls" section.
