Question: why a poll instead of a vote? --DavidLucifer
-[VectorHermit] Because, as documented above, rather than a simple motion, the poll presents two choices. "Prefer the existing page <LINK>" or Replace the existing page by <LINK>. I would be happy
to use the word "vote" here.

. I do not object
to the
use of
the word "vote" here. Neither would I object to making it explicit that the conditions of [VirianVoting] and [WikiVote] apply (which they do). If this edit would resolve your objection, please do so, or indicate affirmation here and I'll do it
.
Question: Also, this seems to preclude voting to repeal something already passed. Why? --DavidLucifer
-[VectorHermit] Not at all. The alternate page could contain "We no longer agree with the policy found at <LINK> and its status should be changed to WikiRejected for the following reasons." Should that page reach the required level of support, the previously authoritive page would be struck.
