The Sims Wiki has adopted this '''voting policy''' to govern official votes on The Sims Wiki. |
|||
---><center><!-- |
|||
"Outer Box" - sets the size of the template that is displayed |
|||
==Use of voting== |
|||
[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Consensus|Consensus]], rather than voting, is always the preferred method of reaching a decision. Voting as a means to determine consensus for a decision should be avoided unless a resolution is necessary and consensus fails to develop. If a vote must occur, it should be held only after significant time has passed for all viewpoints to be taken into account. |
|||

|||
==Voting requirements== |
|||
In order to initiate or participate in a vote, users must: |
|||
# Be a registered and non-[[The Sims Wiki:Blocking|blocked]] member of The Sims Wiki |
|||
# Have at least one edit on the wiki |
|||
# Sign their vote correctly with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) or a proper signature template |
|||
"Inner Box" - Sets the position of the image within the outer box |
|||
If a user is blocked after voting begins, the user's vote should be discarded if the block is set at one month or longer, or indefinitely, or if the user was blocked specifically for tampering with an official vote or use of a [[The Sims Wiki:Policy/General Policies#Sock puppetry|sock puppet]]. Only an administrator may discard votes. |
|||
---><div style="{{#if:|800|800px; |width:690px; }}position:absolute;margin-top:-px;"><!-- |
|||
==Voting procedure== |
|||
Any user meeting the requirements above may initiate a vote on a matter that has failed to garner consensus. All votes must clearly state the question or questions being voted on, all the eligible options for vote, the method of voting, and the duration of the vote (preferably using {{t|Countdown}}) |
|||
File, and optional file parameters |
|||
The exact method of voting is left in the hands of the user initiating a vote. However, the method chosen must be fair, unbiased towards one particular resolution, and suitable for the questions being voted on and the options available. Additionally, all votes must have a defined duration, and that duration may not be less than five days. Users wishing to start a vote should consider [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|consulting with the administrators]] beforehand to ensure that the vote method they choose is valid and effective for the situation. |

|||
Votes which fail to adhere to this rule may be closed early, nullified or modified as needed by the administrators. |
|||
"Title bar" - setting the appearance of the portion that covers the image. |
|||
==Prohibited methods== |
|||
The user starting a vote has leeway to determine the proper method for voting on a particular issue. However, the following methods are expressly prohibited: |
|||
* Setting a vote duration of less than five (5) days |
|||
* Holding a vote on the [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|IRC Channel]], [[The Sims Wiki:Chat|Chat]], or at another location outside The Sims Wiki |
|||
* Conducting a vote using the wiki Poll feature |

|||
==Extent of policy== |
|||
This policy applies only to voting conducted in order to reach an official community decision. Votes for [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Content|featured content]], on-wiki games, or other informal votes or informal opinion polls are not bound by these rules. |
|||
"Title bar" text - these all control what text/items appear on the "title bar," including page name, <pagetype>, and <subtitle> parameters. |
