Template:Proposal support/doc

{{Proposal support}}, or {{PS}} for short, is a template for use on Tardis:Temporary forums#Proposed threads to allow for sorting the proposals by the number of supporters. Its usage is simple: New proposals should have an empty template to count 0 supporters:

{{PS}}

Signatures are each given as a separate argument and so are separated by a "|". To keep things legible and easy to add to, each signature should be on a new line beginning with a pipe. If User:Bongolium500 is the first person to support a proposal, he would make this as follows:

{{PS
|~~~
}}

If another user, for example User:Chubby Potato, is then adding support beyond this first, he would add his signature like this:

{{PS
|[[User:Bongolium500|<span title="aka Bongolium500">Bongo50</span>]] [[User talk:Bongolium500|<span title="talk to me">☎</span>]]
|~~~
}}

This yields:

2 supporters

• Bongo50 ☎
• Chubby Potato ☎

If the same user accidentally supports the same proposal twice, all of their signatures other than the first will be ignored. It is advised that these be removed from the page's source if noticed.
