This idea is reasonable in theory, but the problem is that Wikia's (partially) fluid layout means that what works on some screens doesn't work on others. For example, in your poll above, the "somewhat" tags are completely missing the "considerably" entries on my screen. It would be quite hard to make sure they always cover, and it really is an example of a band-aid solution. They also don't quite match the wiki's background colour, and can never really do so given the fact it's semi-transparent with a mostly blue image underneath, or pink for some other users on thinner screens. Also, imagine going to edit one of those pages as a newer user and seeing that the poll said considerably instead of somewhat in the source code. That user might feel they are helping by changing the wording in the poll to "somewhat" instead. However, that would then just break and reset the poll. It would be much simpler to just get the bot to do the switch as mentioned above.

Unless there are more arguments to the contrary, I'm going to start doing a bot run to fix the polls in the manner worked out above later today.
