Polls are stored by their id, which makes it so they can't be edited after the fact. (Probably wise.) But what happens when you refer to an old poll by its id?

This is |pollid:10|, which refers to the poll from this comment.

Error: Poll belongs to a different comment

What about a future poll?

Error: Poll not found!
