Module:Arbcom election banner
MyWikiBiz, Author Your Legacy — Tuesday November 26, 2024
Jump to navigationJump to searchThis module generates banner templates for the annual Arbitration Committee elections. To make a banner template for an Arbcom election, add the links to that year's Arbcom election pages as described below, and set the four date parameters. After that, editors can add voting guides using the guiden parameters. Voting guides are displayed in a random order.
Syntax
The full syntax for the template is as follows:
{{#invoke:Arbcom election banner|main
| name =
| electionpage =
| nomstart =
| nomend =
| votestart =
| voteend =
| beforenomlink =
| nomlink =
| votepage =
| votelog =
| contact =
| discuss =
| cguide =
| cstatements =
| cquestions =
| cdiscuss =
| guide1 =
| guide2 =
| guide3 =
| guide4 =
| guide5 =
}}
Parameters
Note - in this section, the string YYYY refers to the current year. Its current value is 2024.
name- The name of the template. This is needed to make the navbar work properly. Defaults toACEYYYY.electionpage- The main page for the year's Arbcom elections. Defaults to[[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December YYYY|YYYY Arbitration Committee Elections]].nomstart- The date that nominations start. This must be in a format accepted by the #time parser function, e.g.November 11.
