Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Voter/Documentation

This template is a proposal for an in-wiki polling apparatus for weekly use by the Signpost. The parameters are as follows:

{{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Voter
| image = 
| question = 
| option1 = 
| option1color = 
| option2 = 
| option2color = 
| option3 = 
| option3color = 
| votepage = 
| min_votes = 
| break = 
| overlay = 
| expiry = 
}}

• question: Question under consideration in the poll. (required)
• votepage: Page that the votes will be stored on (required). If in doubt, choose poll location/Votes.
• option1: Name of the first option, as reported in the legend and in the vote button. Defaults to Yes.
• option1color = Color of the first option choice; defaults to {{legend inline|#006699}}, Foundation blue.
• option2: Name of the second options, as reported in the legend and in the vote button. Defaults to No.
• option2color: Color of the second option choice; defaults to {{legend inline|#339966}}, Foundation green.
• option3: Optional. Name of the third options, as reported in the legend and in the vote button. No default.
• option3color: Optional. Color of the third option choice; defaults to {{legend inline|#990000}}, Foundation red (if the third option is enabled at all).
• minimum: Minimum number of votes that must accrue before the poll will display the visualization; before this many votes are made the poll will tell readers that X more votes are needed based on the size of the deficit. Defaults to 10.
• break: Set to "yes" to break columns between the buttons to allow longer button names. If this is not set, the template will try and auto-detect a sensible value.
• expiry: The number of days after which the poll is closed; defaults to 14 days (two publication cycles). Note that is this defined from the day that you create the template not from the day that you actually publish the article!
• header: Text that goes in the poll header. The default is "Signpost poll".
• icon: Changes the image that is displayed in the top-right corner of the poll. As used in the Signpost other images are not recommended.
• overlay: Overlay on the stacked bar chart which produces the template's fancy visualization. By default this is :File:Foundation Logo Transparent.svg, a transparent version of the Wikimedia Foundation's logo. With some basic vector editing skills such images are easy to make; requirements for a working overlay are:
• Square image; the transparent Foundation logo is a vector SVG with native resolution of 1050x1050.
• Canvas whitespace; The bar chart is not displayed wherever the image canvas is explicitly white.
• Transparent logo; this is where the chart will be displayed.
