Most of the time, editing a wiki is just a matter of applying the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, but sometimes matters need a vote to be resolved, or maybe you're just not sure if applying a major change is right and want to test the waters first. This page describes how to set up a vote in accordance with the BRWiki voting policy.
This is brief description of how to start votes in BRWiki. For the actual policy govering votes, please see Policy/Voting. The most important bits are however described in the voting templates themselves.
