Template:ACE2011/doc
The RFC for the 2011 Arbcom elections requested that, if possible, the order of the voter guides in this template be randomized each time the template is refreshed. As a stop gap measure, the template is currently set up to cycle the order of the guides: every guide will have the same chance to appear first in the order, but the guides will always be in alphabetical order. If you want to check the cycling, make sure to purge your view, as the server may not regenerate the template on every view.
Instructions for adding new guides
The easiest way to add your guide is just to list it at Template talk:ACE2011, and someone else will add it for you. Or, if you'd like to try and insert it yourself, instructions are as follows:
The voter guide cycling is based on a pseudo random number. To add a new guide, increase the mod # by one, add the guide in alphabetical order to each line of the switch, (for example, if yours would appear first, add it on the end). Create a new line, with the next incrementing number. Add your guide to that line as the first guide, and add all the other guides in alphabetical order after yours. Example, if the existing code is:
{{#switch: {{#expr: {{NUMBEROFEDITS:R}} mod 2}}
|0 = [[User:A|A]]{{•}} [[User:C|C]]
|1 = [[User:C|C]]{{•}} [[User:A|A]]
}}
To add the guide of User B, you would make the following changes: (strike for removals, underlines for additions)
{{#switch: {{#expr: {{NUMBEROFEDITS:R}} mod
23}}
|0 = [[User:A|A]]{{•}} [[User:B|B]]{{•}} [[User:C|C]]
|1 = [[User:C|C]]{{•}} [[User:A|A]] [[User:B|B]]{{•}}
|2 = [[User:B|B]]{{•}} [[User:C|C]]{{•}} [[User:A|A]]
