Can I see the "Moderator election candidate statistics" for myself without running for moderator?

Question

I figured I'd ask here before making an Evan Carroll out of myself.

I really like the statistics found here:

http://elections.stackexchange.com/#serverfault

Short of nominating myself, is there a way to see these concise statistics about oneself?

I looked around on data.se but didn't find a query that fit and I'm not versed enough on data.se to create the query.

I know there is some, if not all, of this on your profile, but I like this nice concise view.

In the StackApps URL for the page someone asked basically the same thing I'm asking.

And the same URL states that the app has:

• Ability to add arbitrary users to the lineup, for comparison with the candidates

(and I have no desire to ask this over on meta.SE...so if nobody here knows, I'll live without it)

As far as I know there is no page for this. You could however copy-paste some Javascript code into your browser which will show it for you. With a little copy and pasting and under 10 lines of non pasted code :)

The Javascript on the page is not obfuscated so easy to read. With minor adjustments you can copy-paste some of the code and have it display for the users you want. The code is also available on Github which might also mean that it's possible to host it for yourself? (not sure)

As for the copy and paste code, see this link, simply adjust the parameter (user_ids, you can get the id from your profile on this website) and run it on the election page.

In chrome you can open the Javascript console with one of the following options:

• control + shift + j keyboard shortcut
• Right click on a page, inspect element, console
• The three-stripe button near the top right, then more tools, Javascript console.

In Firefox you can open the console with one of the following options:

• The tree stripe button, then developer, then webconsole.
• Right click on a page, Inspect, then click console.
• Control + shift + k keyboard shortcut

In Internet explorer:

• Right click on a object on the page, inspect element. Then click the console icon.
• Press F12 to open developer tools and then click the console icon.
• Click the gear icon, then click developer tools, then the console icon.

In Internet explorer you will have to enter it in the grey box and then click the green triangle button (the one which looks like a play button), or press control+enter. Instead of the console button you can also just press Control+2.

So the the link of original answer was dead, so I would like to add another solution. Basically the technique was similar: inject javascript snippet into election page. To do this I create bookmarklet with the following javascript code.

javascript:void%20function(){var%20e=prompt(%22Please%20enter%20your%20Server%20Fault%20user%20ID%22,%221%22),a=parseInt(e,10);jQuery.ajaxSetup({dataFilter:function(e){var%20t=JSON.parse(e);return%20t.candidates%26%26(t.candidates={},t.candidates[a]={user_id:a,text:%22%22,nominated_order:1,elected:!1}),JSON.stringify(t)}}),$(%22li[data-sitename='serverfault']%20a%22).click()}();

Step by step:

1. Get your Server Fault user ID from your the URL on profile page.
2. Open your browser and enable Bookmarks Bar (Chrome, Firefox, Opera).
3. Drag this dummy links My Stats to Bookmarks Bar.
4. Edit the bookmark (Right click new bookmark item, and click Edit/Properties), replace the URL/Address/Location field with above javascript code.
5. Go to election candidates statistic page. Click the Bookmarklet and enter your Server Fault user ID to run the script.

Disclaimer: tested on Firefox, Opera and Chrome.

And here the original code

var user_input = prompt("Please enter your Server Fault user ID", "1");
var sf_id = parseInt(user_input, 10);
jQuery.ajaxSetup({dataFilter: function(data) {
    var dataOO = JSON.parse(data);
    if (dataOO.candidates) {
        dataOO['candidates'] = {};
        dataOO['candidates'][sf_id] = {"user_id": sf_id, "text": "", "nominated_order":1, "elected":false};;
    }
    return JSON.stringify(dataOO);
  }
});
$( "li[data-sitename='serverfault'] a" ).click()
