Help:Polls in Discussions


 * For information about the older poll feature, see Help:Poll.

Discussions includes the option to create a poll within a post, which can be useful for engaging community members and starting conversations.

As of May 2018, polls are not yet available on communities that are part of FANDOM's mobile apps.

Creating a poll
It's easy to create a new poll in a Discussions post. Users will be able to vote in the poll, as well as upvote the post and add replies. Once a poll is created it cannot be changed.
 * Type a question at the top of the poll.
 * Add answer options. The minimum number of options is 2 and the maximum is 7.
 * Publish your post! Remember that you'll need to choose a category for the new post.

Closing a poll
The best way to end voting in a poll is to lock the post, which can be done by a Discussions moderator or an admin.

Viewing lists of users who voted
There are two ways to view lists of users who have voted in a poll:
 * To see a full list of users who voted, click the total vote count that is displayed in the lower right corner of the post. This list can be accessed even if you have not voted in the poll.
 * To see a list of who voted for a specific option, click the option after you have cast your vote. These lists can only be viewed by users who have already voted.

Deleting a poll
To delete a poll, edit the post containing the poll and click the ('delete') button. Once a poll is deleted, its data is erased and cannot be recovered.
