Description

After the user votes, they should be shown a human-readable summary of their vote. This makes it easy to understand what their vote numbers actually mean, and to change it if they made a mistake. For example:

Your vote (click here to change):

Favourite (1): Billy Joe
2nd choice (30): Joey Bill
2nd choice (30): Bob Apple
3rd choice (99): Jane Apple
 
Don't want at all: Other Guy
Don't want at all: That Guy

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Just to make it obvious here, this seems to be a duplicate of the since-declined task T20969: Vote receipt should provide human legible data. We could re-evaluate it now though

Change 928954 had a related patch set uploaded (by Dreamy Jazz; author: Dreamy Jazz):

[mediawiki/extensions/SecurePoll@master] Make a few follow-up fixes for the summary of votes for VotePage.php

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/928954

Change 891263 merged by jenkins-bot:

[mediawiki/extensions/SecurePoll@master] VotePage: add vote summary after voting

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/891263

I see this was merged ... is this ready to go on votewiki now? I can test it if so but not sure the status.

There is a follow-up change that has not been merged that fixed some minor issues. This was done instead of getting the author of the merged patch to make more changes (as there had been quite a bit of back and forward).

Apart from the follow-up patch, this should be ready to test on votewiki.

Change 928954 abandoned by Dreamy Jazz:

[mediawiki/extensions/SecurePoll@master] Make a few follow-up fixes for the summary of votes for VotePage.php

Reason:

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/928954

Dreamy_Jazz claimed this task.

Considering this has been used in at least one vote, I think this can be resolved.
