Vote is an extension that provides simple polling capabilities through a new special page, Special:Vote.

Installing

1. Download the files from SVN
2. Run vote.sql (for MySQL DBs) or vote.pg.sql (for PostgreSQL DBs) against your wiki's database
3. Add

   require_once("$IP/extensions/Vote/Vote.php");
   

   into your wiki's LocalSettings.php
4. Customize permissions in LocalSettings.php if you want to; by default bureaucrats have the 'voteadmin' user right so they can administer polls and registered users have 'vote' right, meaning that they can access Special:Vote and use it
5. Installation can now be verified through your wiki's Special:Version.

Customization

You can edit MediaWiki:Vote-header to change the title of the poll and MediaWiki:Vote-choices to change the available options.
