| 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. It also contains links to debates, discussions and straw polls. In general it's preferable to hold discussion first. | |||
| ⚫ | |||
| If policy issues remain unresolved after discussion and straw polling, they can go to ] (the "]" variant of this page). | |||
| {{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 can never '''generate''' consensus, they can only show an existing consensus, if any. Using a survey may be useful because some people who disagree will nevertheless recognize and accept the consensus opinion of the community. | |||

| * ]: this discussion focuses on a dispute over the formatting of tables that are compiled of information about the chart positions for singles. Should the U.S. charts be kept in a separate table from other charts, even on articles about singles by non-American musicians? Should "Year" and "Single" columns be included in the tables? How many U.S. ''Billboard'' magazine charts should be included in the chart? Should number one positions mentioned in these tables be bolded? Should the hash "#" symbol precede the chart positions? Should tables documenting the single's week-to-week chart positions on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart be included? This issue has been the subject of several edit wars, so opinions from other users would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks. ] 18:31, 5 November 2005 (UTC) | |||
