Line 46:
Starting a vote early in the thread is '''not advisable'''. Good arguments are likely to come to light later that would have influenced voting. It's best to wait until both sides of the argument have had time to formulate their points before opening the vote. Anyone can start a vote, which we call a "crowner" for historical reasons (read: To confuse you).
The first vote will be about whether to rename at all, and to start it off you'll want to create something called a ''single proposition crowner''. A single Proposition crowner is just that: one single question that can be responded to with a Yes (Up)/No(Down) vote. <!-- Such a crowner can be created [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/crowner_create_subject.php?desc=SingleProposition&subject=InsertSubjectHere here] (change "InsertSubjectHere" in the URL to the title you want for the vote). COMMENTED OUT because it's a link to TVTropes, not ATT. --> It's recommended to add a summarized list of pros and cons for the proposal. Do your best to represent the arguments for both sides as honestly as possible while sticking to the facts.
After you create the crowner, post the link at the proposal thread and press the yellow triangle thingie in the ribbon above your post. That's the holler button- it calls for a moderator; you want to ask them to attach the crowner to the bottom of the thread so people can vote on it comfortably instead of having to go through the link.
