Template:ACMajority/doc

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This template calculates how many arbitrators constitute an absolute majority in votes of the Arbitration Committee. The majority varies depending on how many arbitrators are active and inactive, and is further affected by abstention and recusal:Template:Quotation

Usage

For motions, use the template as follows:

:''{{ACMajority|active = # |inactive = # |recused = # |motion = yes}}''

Otherwise, use:

{{ACMajority|active = # |inactive = # |recused = # }}

|active= is the number of arbitrators active on the matter. For motions and similar, this is usually taken from Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Members, except if the arbitrator explicitly indicates (in)activity for a vote or actually votes. For open cases, this is taken from the list of active and inactive arbitrators on the Proposed Decision talk page.

|inactive= is the number of arbitrators who are inactive on the vote.

|recused= is the number of arbitrators who have recused. For motion (not proposed decision) votes, where the abstention table is hidden, you should include abstained arbitrators in this recusals count in order to maintain an accurate calculation of the majority; the text displays as X arbitrators who have abstained or recused, so this should not confuse readers. There is no 'abstained' parameter.

For use on motions, include an additional parameter of |motion=yes which replaces "this case" with "the purposes of this (or these) motion(s)" and hides the abstentions table. Use |motion=plural if using in a section with multiple motions, to display "this (or these) motion(s)" instead of "this motion".

|hidetable=yes can be used to hide the table whilst not using the 'for the purpose of this motion' variant of the text.

Example

For example, {{ACMajority|active = 11 |inactive = 1 |recused = 2 }} gives:

For this case there are 11 active arbitrators, not counting 1 who is inactive and 2 who have abstained or recused, so 6 support or oppose votes are a majority.
