Creating a separate dblist for securepoll to use which is coming up because of bug 72569 which requires us to eliminate labswiki from the list for securepoll in order for global elections to create (Brad thinks this fix is the easiest for now while we're waiting for that to resolve). However it is likely a good option regardless because it allows us to adjust the definition to eliminate wikis like loginwiki/zerowiki etc where we know we don't want people voting from. In the end we may want to eliminate more but will leave that up to the decision of the election committee. I'll be submitting a patch for this shortly.

It's also another maintenance burden... I'm guessing it's destined to be used by maintenance scripts, rather than in InitialiseSettings.php?
(In reply to Sam Reed (reedy) from comment #2) > It's also another maintenance burden... I'm guessing it's destined to be > used by maintenance scripts, rather than in InitialiseSettings.php? No, $wgSecurePollCreateWikiGroups. Which is used in Special:SecurePoll/create.
default => true nonbetafeatures => false fishbowl => false private => false

Honestly I don't care how we do it, the important thing for me is to make it work (see bug 72569) and Brad said this was the way to do it for now. As he is the one who did the changes, I will bow to his expertise since I do not know if just disabling it will do what is necessary or not. Brad: If this goes forward it's fine to just replace the 'global' option or if you need to add a new one you can add a message for it as Board Election or something like that. If we are going to just disable it on certain wikis the only one that matters for now is labswiki so that we can get the thing to work.

(In reply to Brad Jorsch from comment #8) > This comment does not make sense. I think you're arguing from faulty > premises here, Nemo. I'm not arguing and I don't have any premise; I merely explained Reedy's comment. Your comments are not particularly helpful, but we know very well that you're able to express yourself very clearly when you want. Are you trying to imply that you need to actually pass an array of DB names to the global rather than set a boolean value?

If you are correctly explaining Reedy's comment, then Reedy is also confused as to how this works. $wgSecurePollCreateWikiGroups is a list of dblists and corresponding i18n messages that are offered to the user of [[Special:SecurePoll/create]] (which will typically be available only on votewiki, AFAIK) as options for "which wikis will this particular poll be accepting voters from". It is not a boolean setting that is enabled on individual wikis.
