	In order to get more input from the Misplaced Pages community on important questions, it is sometimes useful to conduct a ] of community opinion. This page lists surveys or ]s that are currently being held on various talk pages.

		⚫	]
	You may also wish to see ] which is a list of active page move discussions.
	{{dispute-resolution}}

	==Instructions for listing surveys==
	Please add new opinion surveys to the list under the appropriate heading. Add a short description of what the survey is about. Note the starting date of the survey and the date the survey will end, if applicable.

	After a survey period ends, it may be removed from the list (however, it should remain for at least a short time after the survey ends, to allow anyone interested to view the results). If no closing date is indicated, the survey may be removed from the list when it appears the question is no longer being actively considered. Survey lists are not archived here; to find older surveys and polls, consult this page's history.

	==Purpose of surveys==
	Surveys may be used as part of ], or to solicit opinions before making significant changes. They can be useful in developing ] when community opinion is not immediately obvious in normal discussion. For example, a survey may bring in opinions from people who agree with one position, but don't join the discussion because they don't feel they have anything original to add.

	For ideas on designing a survey, see ]. The results of a survey are not binding, and may be subject to interpretation. A survey may sometimes be called a poll, and it may involve ] for different options, but it is not the same thing as an ]. For information on elections related to Misplaced Pages, see ].

	Opinion surveys should be used to determine whether a consensus exists, not to decide which side "wins". Successful surveys and polls '''generate''' consensus, because some people who disagree will nevertheless recognize and accept the consensus opinion of the community.

	==Current surveys==
	'''Most recent at top of each section. No signatures, please.'''
