Template:PlainCitePoll invokes Module:References using Lua.

Usage

This template exactly like Template:CitePoll, with two exceptions. First, it is not a reference template in the sense that it does not create footnote-styled references. Instead, it creates the same text that {{CitePoll}} would as a non-reference. This is desirable if a certain poll is the source of the majority of an article, as having the same reference at the end of every sentence. Second, it does not have the "name" parameter, as this only applies to footnote-style references.

{{PlainCitePoll|url=|poll=|question=|polldate=}}

url

The full URL of the poll, including http://

poll

Name of the poll being cited.

question

Number of the question being cited. Do not use names. If the poll only has a single question, use question=no - this removes a maintenance category.

polldate

Date the poll was opened.

Standard parameters

The following parameters are standard across all citation templates.

notes

Optional. This parameter allows you to add text beginning one space after the end of the citation. Having no formatting (meaning you will have to format it yourself), this area can be used for anything you require.
