Revision as of 18:48, 1 November 2012
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]The RFC for the 2011 Arbcom elections requested that, if possible, the order of the voter guides in this template be randomized each time the template is refreshed. The 2012 RFC resulted in no change in that regard. As a stop gap measure, the template is currently set up to use a combination of the number of edits to the project, and the current time to generate a pseudo random matrix of guides. The randomization is not perfect; depending on the number of guides listed, it will be possible to see patterns in the order, however each guide should still have an equal chance to appear in each position. If you want to check the cycling, make sure to purge your view, as the server may not regenerate the template on every view.
Instructions for adding new guides
The easiest way to add your guide is just to list it at Template talk:ACE2012, and someone else will add it for you. Or, if you'd like to try and insert it yourself, instructions are as follows:
The voter guide order is based on a pseudo random number. To add a new guide, you will need to edit {{ACE2012/Guides}}. Add a new line at the end, with the new guide listed, increase the mod # throughout the template by 1, and set the # in ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} + #) to one higher than the entry above.
Example, if the existing code is:
{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|{{#expr: ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} + 0) mod 2}} = Guide 1
|{{#expr: ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} + 1) mod 2}} = Guide 2
}}
To add the guide of User B, you would make the following changes: (strike for removals, underlines for additions)
{{#switch:{{{1}}}
|{{#expr: ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} + 0) mod
23}} = Guide 1
|{{#expr: ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} + 1) mod
23}} = Guide 2
|{{#expr: ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} + 2) mod 3}} = Guide 3
}}
