Template:Proposal check/doc

Use this template to check whether a proposal has reached consensus or not. Here are the parameters, in order:

1. The number of votes that each option has, as a hyphen-separated list
2. The number of unique users who voted in the proposal (for any option)
   • This parameter is optional for two-option proposals
   • Each user must be counted exactly once; a tool such as DeDupeList may help with this

Add an early=yes parameter to instead check whether a proposal is eligible for an early close or not. See below for examples.

Two-option proposal

• Support: Greg, Samantha, Tim
• Oppose: Matthew, Emily, Luke, James, Olivia, Barry

Note: since this is a two-option proposal, the second parameter can be omitted.

Early close check

{{proposal check|early=yes|3-6}}

With a margin of 3 votes, the proposal is not eligible to close one week early. DO NOT CLOSE EARLY

The vote margin is not sufficient, so the proposal does not close early.

Deadline check

{{proposal check|3-6}}

With a margin of 3 votes, more than 50% approval is required. 66.7% approve option #2. CONSENSUS REACHED

Consensus is reached and option #2 ("Oppose") is the first place option, so the proposal is settled and has failed.

Multi-option proposal

• Option 1: Steve, Mary, Bob, Charlie
• Option 2: Steve, Greg, Susan
• Option 3: Fred, Greg, Sarah, Lucy, Tyler
• Option 4: Greg, Sarah, Tyler, Jim

Note: while the proposal has 16 total votes placed, it only has 11 unique users.

Early close check

{{proposal check|early=yes|4-3-5-4|11}}

With a margin of 1 vote, the proposal is not eligible to close one week early. DO NOT CLOSE EARLY

The vote margin is not sufficient, so the proposal does not close early.

Deadline check

{{proposal check|4-3-5-4|11}}

With a margin of 1 vote, at least 60% approval is required. 45.5% approve option #3. CONSENSUS NOT REACHED

Consensus is not reached, so the proposal is extended (up to three times).

Old system

Alternatively, you can use this template with the old system by specifying the number of votes for the first place and second place options as two separate parameters instead of supplying the vote counts for every option. Here are the parameters, in order:

1. The number of votes that the first place option has
2. The number of votes that the second place option has
3. The number of unique users who voted in the proposal (for any option)
   • This parameter is optional for two-option proposals

Add the early=yes parameter if needed.
