--- Comment #2 from Happy-melon <[email protected]> --- The ArbCom election administration mostly takes place on-wiki; enwiki has established processes for setting up and curating the wiki pages associated with the election; those processes are working fine, no staff involvement is required there. The community appoints a handful (three this year) "election coordinators" to liaise with the WMF over the one part where help is required: configuring a SecurePoll election for the appropriate number of candidates. There are three main technical things that the community needs from the sysadmin team in order to get SecurePoll set up. 1) Generate the voting list. The condition for suffrage is "150 edits by 1 November 2013". The documentation at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/SecurePoll#How_to_create_an_Arbcom_election_on_enwiki is out of date by the looks of it, I think the script is now called makeSimpleList.php. Anyway, I *think* the shell command which needs running is the following: mwscript extensions/SecurePoll/cli/makeSimpleList.php --wiki=enwiki --before="1 November 2013" --edits=150 arbcom-2013 That script usually takes several days to complete. 2) Fetch the highest SecurePoll entity ID and paste it here, since IDs need to be hardcoded in the XML config. This just requires running the SQL: SELECT MAX(`en_id`) FROM `securepoll_entity`; `en_id` is the primary key and the table contains only a few hundred rows, so this is completely safe. 3) Load the XML config once it's been generated by the election coordinators (in this case, me). The nomination period doesn't close until end of 19 November, so we can't proceed with the config until then, but there are two steps which can happen now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
