Pikipedia:Poll policy

This page lists Pikipedia's policy towards polls: what the community needs to do in order to submit, approve, and use polls.

Process
Every poll has to go through this process.


 * 1) A user that has an idea for a poll writes a discussion section for it on the ideas page, following the guide there.
 * 2) Other users can then add support votes, opposition votes, or comments about the poll, including what parts they think should be changed.
 * 3) * For a month after the poll is created, it is forced to stay in this stage.
 * 4) After a month, its fate can be decided.
 * 5) * If it has at least one more supporter than opposers, it becomes accepted, and its discussion section moves on to the list of future polls. The nominator's vote isn't counted for this.
 * 6) * If there are more opposers than supporters, the poll is rejected, and the discussion section is archived in the rejected nomination list. Again, the nominator's vote isn't counted for this.
 * 7) * If the community is still trying to craft it, or it hasn't received a single vote either way, then it will remain there, and will be re-checked at the end of every month.
 * 8) If a poll has been accepted and is sitting on the list of future polls, it will be eventually picked and added to the front page.
 * 9) * The picking process is done by the editor in charge of updating the front page, but it's normally under a first-come-first-serve basis.
 * 10) After staying on the front page, it is left open on Crowdsignal (formerly PollDaddy), but is archived under the wiki, in the past poll list.

What makes a good poll?
A poll doesn't need much in order to be suggested as an idea. But an ideal poll is one that:


 * 1) Fans of the series want to answer.
 * 2) Can provide some interesting stats after the votes are tallied.
 * 3) Doesn't have any "maybe" or "depends" answers, since those are almost always what people vote for.
 * 4) Only has a few available options.
