Voting

Support This can be done already if you edit by bot, but not if you're using the interface, would be good to have the option somehow. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:50, 28 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This cannot always be done through other properties because they might be lacking or users might not be aware of them. GNUtoo (talk) 21:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
