Polls and voting should be avoided. Polls should only be used after there has been extensive discussion of a topic without identification of community consensus. Polls at Wikiversity can be part of community discussions. When votes are cast in polls, reasons should be cited for each vote. Votes cast without being associated reasons are likely to be given less weight than votes that are accompanied by a description of the reasoning upon which they are based.
