Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Larger suggestions/Make SecurePoll accessible through local wikis/Proposal

  • Problem: To vote in a SecurePoll election, you need to be redirected to votewiki (vote.wikimedia.org). This leads to potential vulnerabilities (see phab:T298849) and it also requires the interface language of votewiki to be changed based on the language of the local wikis who are running an election there at each given time.
  • Proposed solution: Refactor the code of SecurePoll to properly use CentralAuth and SUL, so that users don't have to leave their local wiki at all to vote.
  • Who would benefit: Wikis that hold elections using SecurePoll (currently enwiki and fawiki, soon to include zhwiki and more).
