BRWiki:Policy votesFrom BRWiki(Redirected from BRWiki:Policy/Policy votes)
Policies » Policy status phases » Policy votes
This page is not an official BRWiki policy. It merely explains the mechanics of creating a policy proposal, and/or starting a policy recall vote. Please see BRWiki:Policy status phases for the actual policy governing policies. If ever these two pages disagree on something, BRWiki:Policy status phases is the authorative one.
Proposing a policyThis section explains how to propose a new policy in a clear and concise manner. Stand-alone proposal articlesCreate a new article, e.g. {{Policy/Proposal}}
Introduction text, if you want to write one
== The Policy ==
Do this, or don't do that...
== Reasoning ==
I feel that this is needed because ....
The page will look something like this:
{{Policy/Proposal}} automatically places the page in Category:Policy proposals.
Adding to an existing talk pageTo add your proposal to an existing proposal's talk page rather than making it a standalone article, follow the instructions for a standalone policy proposal, but do it in the discussion page of an existing policy. Note however that it becomes much easier to spot new policy proposals up for vote in Category:Votes in progress and Category:Policy proposals if you create a new article rather than just append to an existing talk page. Creating new articles is by far the preferred method of proposing new policy as well as changes to existing policy.
Setting up the voting boothIn the discussion page of the proposal (after your proposal if you wrote it in the talk page rather than standalone), add the following: {{subst:Policy/Talk}}
{{Policy/Vote}} automatically places the talk page in Category:Votes in progress. Since you are the one proposing the policy, you will likely want to follow the instructions that appear to vote in favor of your own proposal. If your proposal is a stand-alone one, you may also want to insert a
Starting a policy recall voteIf you disagree with an adopted BRWiki policy, you can start a vote to recall it. In the discussion page of the proposal, add the following: = Vote to Recall =
Your reason for wanting to recall this policy
{{subst:Policy/Recalltalk}}
{{Policy/Recall}} automatically places the talk page in Category:Votes in progress. Since you are the one proposing the recall, you will likely want to follow the instructions that appear to vote in favor of recalling the proposal.
