Forum:The new poll function

Seeing votes on Recentchanges
Is there any way to enable us to see who is voting in the poll feature? Right now, you can hit the buttons and it records the vote, but not who and when. It might be troublesome code-wise, but it might be necessary to prevent people from "stuffing a ballot box". Chadlupkes 23:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Example Yes No Maybe


 * Ok, after creating the example, I see that you can't vote more than once while signed in. Now let's see what happens if I sign out.  Chadlupkes 23:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Tried it signed out, and it identifies the IP address as well. So each user can vote once with their username and once with an IP address.  Given the number of ways that you can fudge an IP address, this might be a problem.  Solutions might include:


 * 1) Restricting votes to signed-in users.
 * 2) not sure what else. ideas?

 * According to this page using "CONTROL" will allow a sysop to check the Ip's, Users, etc...

EDIT: Aparently polls are universal to... If I enter the question from a poll on my wiki it will show up here to. That's not good. Dantman (Talk) 00:16, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Using this feature it may be easier for sockpuppets to get away with multiple votes. That's why I'm not sure if I want to implement it on my wiki.--Rataube 15:47, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

I trust my members enough for now. But the feature is already part of your wiki. But if you don't like it, I have a alternative that I made awhile ago.

To use, copy from my wiki to yours w:c:gaia:Template:Answer and all the subpage answers that you wish to use. And on any page you wish for input, use this code: Question: Question Here?

Answer: __Answers__ And for answers if you want yes and no you'd use: [ Yes], or [ No].

But basicly the answering code is
