help on poll

New page

adding a poll to your article

== Add it centrally ==

To get more people to vote, add your poll to [[User polls]]. This has the advantage a casual visitor can glance several polls, and vote for more than one at the same time, making the data you collect more valuable

== How ? ==

Adding a poll is actually enormously simple. Just add:
<nowiki><poll domain=intl>
Question
Answer 1
Answer 2
Answer 3
</poll></nowiki>
You can add as many answers as you like. Some things to keep in mind though: the key of the poll is the Question, change the Question, even one letter, and you have '''a new poll'''! So check carefully the question if it's ok before saving.

== That's it? ==
Actually, you best add to [[User polls]] a bit of context to your poll, with also a link to the page you use the poll on.

== How to include a poll ==
To include the poll in an article, you use inclusion. You denote the poll on [[User polls]] with a section:
<nowiki><section begin=pollkey /> ... here comes the poll ...
<section end=pollkey /></nowiki>
Where you chose something meaningfull for pollkey.

You can then include everything denoted by the section in another page, with for example:
<nowiki> <div style="width:100%" valign="top">
{{#lst:User polls|pollkey}}
</div></nowiki>

Enjoy!

<small>'''Note''': apparently including the poll also includes a whitespace before the poll box. I am not aware of a method to disable this.</small>
