The Wikimedia Foundation has used this method for Board of Trustees and Funds Dissemination Committee elections in [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2013/Results 2013], [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2015/Results 2015], and [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2017/Results 2017], after previously using [[Approval voting]] and [[Schulze method]].
Wikipedia uses this in a non-binding way for Administrator nominations,<ref>[[W:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship#Decision%20process|w:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship#Decision process]]</ref> etc.▼
If tallied using normal Score voting rules (where O=0, N=1, S=2), the 2015 Wikimedia Board election would have had a different winner, with the candidate in 4th place moving up to 2nd. The 2017 Board and 2015 FDC elections would have had a different top-3 order, but the same 3 candidates would have won.
In all 8 elections from 2013-2017, the most common vote was ''Neutral'', which was cast about twice as often as ''Support'', which in turn was cast about twice as often as ''Oppose''. Winners typically receive 70–85% support.
It has also been used for Steward elections since 2009 or earlier,<ref name="Meta 2009">{{cite web | title=Stewards/elections 2009/Statistics | website=Wikimedia Meta-Wiki | date=2009-02-22 | url=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/elections_2009/Statistics | access-date=2020-02-19}}</ref> with the current rules electing all candidates that receive at least 30 votes in favor and at least 80% support.<ref name="Meta">{{cite web | title=Stewards/Elections 2020/Statistics | website=Wikimedia Meta-Wiki | url=https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Stewards/Elections_2020/Statistics | access-date=2020-02-19}}</ref>
