Revision as of 05:58, 17 May 2015
Template:Shortcut
Wookieepedia's voting eligibility policy requires that editors meet a minimum level of productivity in order to participate in votes affecting site policy. Users who do not meet the predetermined productivity level will have their votes stricken from voting forums. Votes by any users who have fewer than 50 valid (non-vandalism, non-fanon) Main namespace (article) edits will NOT be counted. The exception to the voting requirement is with special limited votes such as Mr./Miss Star Wars and Coolest/Lamest. A blocked user's votes do not count on any active discussion or vote of any type (except WP:QOTD at the discretion of an administrator) for the entire duration of the block.
Votes affected (include but will not be limited to)
- Forum:Consensus track
- Wookieepedia:Mofferences (one must have 50 Main namespace edits in order to attend with voice)
- Forum:Senate Hall
- Wookieepedia:Trash compactor
- Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations
- Wookieepedia:Good article nominations
- Wookieepedia:Comprehensive article nominations
- Wookieepedia:Quote of the Day
- Wookieepedia:Wookieepedian of the Month
- Wookieepedia:Official Friends of Wookieepedia/Nominations
- Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights (Self-votes will not be counted in the vote totals.)
- Talk page consensus votes
Votes not affected
- Wookieepedia:Miss Star Wars
- Wookieepedia:Mister Star Wars
- Other "just for fun" types of votes
Productivity requirement
Regardless of the overall total number of edits, a user's combined total of content namespace, Wookieepedia:, and MediaWiki: edits must be at least double the combined total of Forum:, User:, and User_talk: namespace edits in order to vote on any matters affecting the site or other users. This does not alter the minimum requirement of fifty non-reverted Main namespace edits required to vote on anything. This does exclude "fun" votes such as Mister/Miss Star Wars and WP:QOTD.
Additional provisions
- Any user must have contributed at least 50 valid Main namespace edits by the start of a given forum in order to be eligible to vote on the following: Forum:Consensus track, Wookieepedia:Mofference, Wookieepedia:Trash compactor, Wookieepedia:Official Friends of Wookieepedia/Nominations, Wookieepedia:Requests for user rights, and talk page consensus votes. A user who makes 50 valid Main namespace edits after the start of a given forum may be eligible to vote on that forum if the forum lasts longer than a period of one month.
- Any user who has placed {{User left}} on their user page, or who has in some other way made it clear that they have departed the wiki, must re-earn the right to vote. From the time that they stated their intentions to leave, whether by the use of {{User left}} or some other means, they will not be eligible to vote. Before they can vote again, they must make it clear that they have returned from their absence, with messages and templates reverted, and they must earn another 50 valid Main namespace edits.
- Users returning from a block of one month or longer are not immediately eligible to vote on matters of site consensus (as defined in this section's first bullet point). They regain their voting eligibility after two weeks from the expiration of their block.
- Users must make 50 non-reverted, non-deleted Main namespace edits within the previous 6 months prior to the start of a given forum to be eligible to vote. User page and talk page edits do not apply. Edit totals remain pursuant to the overall productivity requirement.
