Forum:Polls/Surveys

I am new to Wikis, and I really like this one. I really like the polls, and was wondering, how and where did you have them made? I would like to make a poll like that, but for something else JUMP. Sorry if this was posted somewhere wrong or something of that sort. TechGenusMaster (talk) 01:59, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

Polls can easily be made using the poll tag. Just simply write



Poll Question goes here?

Option 1 goes here

Option 2 goes here

Option 3 goes here

The result of that code is this:

 Poll Question goes here? Option 1 goes here Option 2 goes here Option 3 goes here

Hope that helps--

Ok thanks! I will experiment with this until I get the desired result. Thanks again!

That's odd. I copied and pasted this coding, but nothing happened. Hmm... My Wiki is weird... I need to learn how to edit and manage a Wiki.
 * Can you link to your wiki so that I can see what is wrong?--

Ok. http://yugioh-dueling-squad.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-gi-oh!_Dueling_SQuad_Wiki

I would also like to stop aynomounous users from even posting. They spam a lot. Is it possible to do that? Or even prevent them from commenting? And how do I erase it if it still happens? Some people keep posting, and I can't get to the source and delete it. ThankS! TechGenusMaster (talk)

Oh, can you help me with other things as well, like linking pages? You know, like making the word Ichigo Kurosaki a link to the page about him.
 * The problem I see is that you are using the rich text editor rather than the source code editor. The Rich Text editor makes it impossible to use any form of coding such as a poll. When you are editing, you need to go to the Source tab rather than the Visual tab or disable rich text editing in your preferences. Currently, your code looks like this:

&lt;Poll&gt;

Which of the following classic Yu-gi-oh cards is your favorite?

Dark Magician

Blue-Eyes White Dragon

Red-Eyes Black Dragon

Dark Magician Girl

Exodia

&lt;/poll&gt;

Why doesn&apos;t this work?
 * When all you want is this:

Which of the following classic Yugioh cards is your favorite? Dark Magician Red Eyes Black Dragon Dark Magician Girl Exodia
 * You cannot disable commenting or editing from anonymous users, if they do something bad, you can simply delete it by clicking the delete button on the comment. To do a link simply wrap the word in brackets Ichigo Kurosaki produces Ichigo Kurosaki.--

Thanks A lot Godisme. This should work now, thanks. You like Yugioh? Hoping, but probably not. I am a huge fan of Bleach, but like Yugioh more.

Also, how is your edit tool bar like this? And here are more questions: How do I change background,Icon, Icon in URL bar, and the Bar at the top of the page that has "Recently added" and Races with all of th other things underneath it?
 * We added a few buttons to our toolbar using the javascript found in MediaWiki:Common.js. If you need javascript help, I suggest you check out Community Central and the forums there. Changing your background, logo and favicon can all be done through the page Special:ThemeDesigner on your wiki. The top bar is controlled though the MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation page.--

Ok, thanks, but I am still not able to do any of this... It is confusing. What is JavaScript? How, and where, do I find this Special:ThemeDesigner page? TechGenusMaster (talk) 00:09, November 3, 2012 (UTC) And how do I edit my signature like that?
 * Okay lets take this step by step. Step 1. click this. Now click the tab that says editing. Now find where it say "Enable visual editing" and uncheck that box.
 * Step 2. Edit your main page and replace the code for your poll with the code I gave you.
 * Step 3. Click here. On the customize tab, you can click on the picture labeled graphic to upload a background to your wiki. It can be any file type but no larger than 100kb in size. On the wordmark tab, you can upload a graphic wordmark that is a .png or a.jpg. It needs to be 250 x 65px in size. Next to that is where you can upload a favicon, the image in the url bar. It needs to be a .ico file so you will need to find a website that makes favicons.
 * Step 4. Javascript is a coding language which allows you to change aspects of the wikia interface. If you need help, check out The community central forums which are designed to help new people with wikis.--
