SecurePoll Extension request
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

I request the developers to add support to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SecurePoll extension. This is a higher-level extension which very few people have access to on Wikimedia Wikis, hence will be useful for testing.

Rights of securepoll-create-poll and securepoll-edit-poll can be granted to sysops/'crats based on consensus, or even as a separate electionadmin group which can be added by sysops/'crats.

securepoll-view-voter-pii needs to be limited to CheckUsers as it shows IPs.

Thanks!

@MacFan4000, can you review this and see if this is something you'd want? Thanks.

Much needed! Since it is heavily restricted on Wikimedia, I think it would be great for testing or even using it in community discussions

We can add it for testing, but I'd rather actual on-wiki discussions happen on wiki pages.

the "securepoll-view-voter-pii" user right must remain restricted to stewards (or maybe checkuser?)
