View source for Category:Position

A '''position''' is the intersection of a user and a poll.  It is a person's or group's stance in regard to the [[:category:issue|issue]] of a poll.

===Personal form===

A personal position page is formed as a subpage of the person's top-level user page.  The name of the position page is:

 User : <var>USERNAME</var> / <var>[[:Category:Poll|POLL-NAME]]</var>

The <var>POLL-NAME</var> is the name of the poll that formalizes the issue.  It always begins with an uppercase letter.  In a multi-area wiki (such as this), the name usually contains one or more slashes, so that a position page is typically named:

 User : <var>USERNAME</var> / <var>[[:Category:Area|AREA-NAME]]</var> / p / <var>SUB-NAME</var>

To avoid conflict with position pages, users may therefore wish to name their non-positional, multi-level subpages with a leading lowercase letter.  For example, the second name below is a better choice:

 User:Joe-AcmeCom/Subpages/Why I love pollwikis/Part 2
 User:Joe-AcmeCom/subpages/Why I love pollwikis/Part 2  ''(better)''

Usage example for a basic, personal position page:

 <nowiki>[[Category:Position]]</nowiki>
