When I post a poll an [intro] code is placed right below the question and above the ? What is it and how to edit it? I am running MediaWiki v1.41.1.

How can I change the voting period?

On Special:SecurePoll there's an edit button for each poll. That'll allow you change the period (if voting has not ended)

The vote wasn't closed, but I wasn't able to edit the voting period.

I should've added 'if the voting hasn't started' too. Yes, this intentional limitation. I see you've already opened T344300, so linking it here for reference.

I intend to use SecurePoll for surveys how to change

SecurePoll page name

"vote" to "answer"

"Voter eligibility" to "Respondent eligibility"

?

Thank you

How is a difference between?:

I added some translation tags for this extension doc. @Shirayuki Could you please mark my revision for translation?

How do we implement the SecurePoll on the Dutch Wikipedia? Are there any pre-conditions? Necessary rights?

SecurePoll are available on all Wikimedia projects, though votes may be done via Vote-Wiki nowadays. Try contacting meta:User:Jalexander-WMF who should be able to direct you to the correct WMF liaison.

Any ideas on how to get around this?

Update for this: I re-ran the update script and everything went fine. No idea what happened to fix this problem though.

Is this for anonymous or public pools or is there an option? The page sadly doesn't tell.

After Install , its show "[ecaca550a324aaf5520fec52] 2019-04-27 09:36:04: Fatal exception of type "Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryError"" what to do now.

Hi @Jayantanth, while I will ask you to post the full error log here so we can better understand what exactly the problem is and also specific information like the MediaWiki version, PHP Version, SecurePoll version etc, for technical support questions, can you use https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/?

Can this extension be used to create a board of editors who would have to vote on a submitted article, before the articles goes live? I see someone asked a similar question, which has stood unanswered for 3 years now.
