Sannse you’re really clever, thought it would be an amazingly sweet idea to create a timed random poll order. There doesn’t currently seem to be a built in way so over this season would such a system be able to be created?

The ingenious plan is to have a random poll appear on the main page of a wiki like Seraph of the End on the right for example for people to take part in – the random parts good to go. What needs to be added is having it on a timer, so say each week it will automatically change randomly to a different poll.

Rather than having it change every time the page is clicked it would better to keep it for longer. Like if people came across an episode related poll but clicked away then the poll was gone, if it stays for like a week there’s time to watch it then return to the poll to answer. Also if it changes say every week apparently that’s better for the cache as well, rather than change like every second for different people.

So yes that would save manually changing a poll (as much as a trial that is) makes things interesting with the random order and just seems a really cool thing to be able to do. Now that I think about it, that would be such a handy system for polls across wikis and so a great gift for you to bequeath onto FANDOM sites.

With your magic make it snow and drop all the presents on us, Sannse Claus.
