Vote Site Catalog Notes

Vote-site catalog and preset verification

Important: The Minecraft Server Lists page is a runtime input to VotingPlugin, not only human-readable documentation. The ServiceSiteHandler fetches its Markdown (or HTML-rendered mirrors) and parses simple domain - service site list entries, then can persist the resulting mappings into ServerData.yml. Keep that original page in its existing bullet-list format. Do not convert it into a table.

The mapping list is a convenience reference, not a guarantee that a voting website's currently transmitted ServiceSite is unchanged. This companion page carries editorial guidance so the machine-readable source stays intact.

Verify the actual site identifier

1. Configure VotifierPlus/NuVotifier, then send a real or listener-generated vote through your actual voting website.
2. Check the received service name in console output, or use /av servicesites after the vote.
3. Compare that exact value with the enabled VoteSites.yml entry's ServiceSite. Matching is case-insensitive, but do not guess a value from the public voting URL.
4. Use /av VotePresets to generate a starting configuration for supported websites, then verify its suggested service name against the real vote. /av vote <player> <site> is an internal test and does not verify the name sent by the external website.
5. After configuring all intended sites, set AutoCreateVoteSites: false to prevent unknown services from automatically creating new entries.

Presets are starting points

The VotingPlugin-Presets repository maintains the complete set of available site templates. Some preset metadata has "verified": false, so a suggested service name should always be checked against an actual incoming vote.

Neither a preset nor a historical wiki mapping takes precedence over an actual received vote.

Editing the machine-readable list

The mapping list changes as sites are added. Preserve one plain Markdown bullet per mapping, without extra links, labels, or metadata on the mapping line:

* example.com - ExampleServiceName

Avoid adding unrelated name - value lines, tables, or other ambiguous text to that page. That content may be fetched directly by a running server. Use this companion page for longer explanations and provide evidence from a real received vote when proposing corrections.

The existing AdvancedServiceSiteHandling option uses these mappings to help resolve service identifiers. Incorrect entries can affect vote-site matching. Do not change the mapping values merely to align them with unverified preset defaults.
