INFO TO POLL MAKERS

Hi everyone 

Just some things to think about when making a list for a poll suggestion:   

* Do not use bullet points ( • ) to list things under an option or in the intro text - they don't work in poll format  

* When listing several things under an option, always add a blank line or punctuation marks ( ; ) to separate the sentences

Example from a poll:

Without the line breaks, it would have looked like this: 

* When making an image list, it's always good to add captions (title, character name etc.). If an image should disappear from the poll, it's hard for the poll taker to know what the option was: Example

* When mentioning a movie, TV show or person in the intro, it's good to add a link to the IMDb page:

Examples:

[link=nm0000949] (name link for Cate Blanchett)

[link=tt1475582] (title link for the TV series "Sherlock")

[link=tt0068646] (title link for the movie 'The Godfather')

Reminder: Re-pushing a poll

A live poll can be updated (re-pushed) to add one or more options to the poll.

Always add the new option at the end of the list, and do not change the order of the choices in the list. 

It is recommended to include a note with the day's date, so voters can see that the option was added after the poll was published. 

Request the re-push in this thread:
