- ↑ Votes confirmation is a measure developed by Irpen. He proposed that only votes from people who already had registered account in any of the Wikimedia projects by the time when the discussion started are taken into consideration. To verify or "confirm" the vote, according to his proposition each user should write his Meta account username on his talkpage in local project, take the diff link of this edit and place it on his userpage here in Meta. After that all votes by this user in discussions which started after this user's registration in local project are considered "confirmed".
If votes confirmation was not used for some discussion all non-anonymous votes are considered confirmed. Note that there is no need to write two values ("total (confirmed)") into this table in such a case. - ↑ Useful content of closed wikis are imported to the Wikimedia Incubator by people with the import right. See incubator:Incubator:Importing for a coordination page.
