| [[File:InklingVote.png|thumb|Inkipedia needs you!]] | | #REDIRECT [[Inkipedia:Policy/Consensus]] |
| | |
| Often, Inkipedia will encounter an issue that does not have a clear solution. For example, should the wiki use traditional English or American English in its articles? In such a case, discussion and, eventually, a community vote, should take place.
| |
| | |
| ==Reasons to create a vote==
| |
| These are examples of issues that may justify creating a community vote:
| |
| :*Deciding the [[Inkipedia:Inkling of the Month|Inkling of the Month]]
| |
| :*Deciding the [[Inkipedia:Featured_content|Featured content]]
| |
| :*[[INK:RfR|Requesting rights]]
| |
| :*Changing the wiki font
| |
| :*Changing the wiki logo
| |
| :*Changing a major policy
| |
| | |
| These are examples of issues that would '''not''' justify creating a community vote:
| |
| :*Thinking of a new outfit to wear
| |
| :*Deciding what weapon to use in Splat Zones
| |
| :*Seeing what Splatfest choice people are voting for
| |
| | |
| While these last three examples are not good reasons to create a community vote, they are perfect for blogs and polls!
| |
| | |
| ==How to create a vote==
| |
| Before creating a vote, contact an [[Inkipedia:Administrators|Administrator]] via their talk page or Discord. If every Admin you ask approves your request, one of them will create a voting page for you. However, if even one Admin vetoes your request, the page will not be created until specified changes are made.
| |
| | |
| ===For Administrators===
| |
| This section is a guide to help Administrators create community voting pages. Create the desired article under the Inkipedia namespace as a subpage of [[Inkipedia:Voting]]. For example, a vote discussing whether to use traditional English or American English on the wiki could be found on the page ''Inkipedia:Voting/British vs American English''. Any words following "Inkipedia:Voting" should be a concise but clear description of the issue at hand.
| |
| | |
| '''Acceptable article title:'''
| |
| :*Inkipedia:Voting/British vs American English
| |
| | |
| '''Unacceptable article title:'''
| |
| :*Inkipedia:Voting/Please vote! What type of grammar should Inkipedia use: British English or American English?
| |
| | |
| | |
| The first thing someone should see when they open a voting page is a description of the topic being voted upon. This description should be neutral, holding no obvious bias for or against the proposal. Following the description should be:
| |
| | |
| ----
| |
| | |
| ==Should Inkipedia use {{explain|Option 1|British}} or {{explain|Option 2|American}} English?==
| |
| ==={{explain|Option 1|British}} {{explain|The total number of votes for Option 1|(0)}}===

| ==How to vote==
| |
| If you would like to vote on a community decision, please add your signature (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) by a pound symbol (<nowiki>#</nowiki>) underneath the last vote for the option you support. Once you have voted, please change the number next to the option you support to reflect your added vote.
