;Votescript v1.0

Script for tabulating results of the approval voting process.

This script has a user interface where the title of the survey page can be entered.
After the survey page has been parsed, you will have to edit the headings scraped off the page to match the heading of the option people voted under.
The preview and wikitable code update automatically whenever the heading text area loses focus.

TODO

Any contributions to this script would be appreciated. Leave a note on my talk page if you have any ideas.

! Closed bugs

Bug 0: Wikipedia integration doesn't seem to work

Bug 1: Need to modify code for each straw poll

Program can't be used by everyone because of this oversight.
Provide a page like Interiot's tool where a wikipedia page can be entered into a box.
FIXED

Bug 2: Doesn't understand polls that are not subtitled with <h3>

Bug 3: Thinks that From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is a vote heading when looking for level 3 headings

'''Bug 4: Thinks that two separate surveys on the same page are one and the same

The code cannot parse multiple surveys on the same page.
You're asking too much of the code; consider listing each survey on its own subpage and using template magic on the main survey page ala WP:PR.
WONTFIX

Bug 5: Ignores voter who doesn't wikilink to anything

The code searches for the first occurrence of title="User:__somename__", and determines the username from that.
This bug is caused by customized signatures that use external links to a userpage (the title attribute becomes a URL) or contain no links whatsoever.
~~CRITICAL~~FIXED
