Template:Administrator elections status/data
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface.
To avoid major disruption, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Part of the optional WP:ACE-inspired infrastructure for keeping the WP:Administrator elections headers up-to-date automatically, this template mirrors Template:Arbitration Committee candidate/data. Additionally, the latest election edition to display is stored at Template:Administrator elections status/data/latest month.
When adding a new election, please insert twelve lines after the first line in the following format, portrayed by an example for a hypothetical April 2018 election:
|April 2018={{#switch:{{{2}}} |nombegin = 3 April 2018 |nomend = 9 April 2018 |pollsetupbegin = 11 April 2018 |pollsetupend = 12 April 2018 |discbegin = 17 April 2018 |discend = 19 April 2018 |begin = 20 April 2018 |end = 26 April 2018 |certified = 29 April 2018 |poll = 750<!--enwiki [[Special:SecurePoll]] ID--> |votewikiid = 1480<!--votewiki [[Special:SecurePoll]] ID--> |previous = November 2017 |next = September 2018 |status = Please leave your feedback on how the election went on the '''[[Wikipedia:Administrator elections/April 2018/Debrief|debrief page]]'''. }}
