- Report a bug!
- Talk about WV or ask for help
- Request a feature
- Instruction manual
- We are on IRC - the freenode network at #wikivoter
Information
- Written in C++ (Using .NET for GUI) -- when a stable release is reached I will rewrite the GUI.
- Tool is to assist users in finding interesting votes and assist those users in doing the basic research associated with voting in any of Misplaced Pages's discussion (voting) procedures.
- Current focus will be on AfDs. Others will be added in time.
User Requirements
- Cannot be used by Anon editors.
- User must have 250 mainspace (article) edits. This is checked every time that you use this application.
- User must have {{user WikiVoter}} userbox on their user page or if you don't like userboxes for whatever reason just put ] on your userpage. The program will not let you use it unless you have one of the two above. (similar to a userlist for AWB or VP, but no moderators. :) )
- You must not be banned from using this tool. (found to be using sockpuppets is the primary reason for banning)
WikiVoter Features
Currently the features below are ready for testing (beta), all unnamed stuff is alpha
- Allows easy and informed voting on WP:AfD (more to come... WP:RfA)
- All effort will be going to WP:AfD, so that I can make this as best as humanly possible.
- Gather the number of for, oppose, comments and other page specific votes. (done, but buggy because it does not recognize "novel" ways of saying votes)
- Counts hits on selected search engines, (currently Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com, and IncyWincy (Personal favorite).
- A link to the URL and the count can be easily copy-pasted, via a button in the program.
- Automatically writes an edit summary (the first part of your vote reason).
- Allows quick and easy viewing of the article in question, and allows easy copy/pasting from the article to your vote, ("as in quotations")
- Analyses the edit counts of voters, with those below a chosen number highlighted red.
General Clarification
This program is used primarily in articles for deletion. The title of said program is not meant to be taken literally. Articles for deletion is not a vote process, but is a primary method of finding consensus in discussion. For more information please see the listing in what Misplaced Pages is not under democracy as well as the deletion process, and guide to deletion. You may also wish to review the list of policies and the list of guidelines before making a decision using WikiVoter.
- Note- it is planned for expansion to cover more of wikipedia's discussions. AfD was chosen as it is the largest such process on wikipedia. Others will come in time.
