Line 1: :''[[Project:History]]'' ~~{{TopNav\|About}}~~ The '''~~electowiki~~Electorama wiki''' (also known as "Electowiki" with an uppercase "E") is athe predecessor website ~~which~~to [[electowiki]] ("electowiki" with a lowercase "e", served by [[Miraheze]]). "Electowiki" and "electowiki" share the same goal: to ~~describes~~describe a variety of different [[Voting system\|election methods]], and their effect on the quality and timbre of elections and democracy~~. See [[electowiki:About]] to learn more general information about electowiki~~. ~~electowiki~~Electowiki was started in 2005 by Dan Keshet and Rob Lanphier ([[User:~~RobLa\|~~RobLa]]) as a free-content, [[~~w:MediaWiki\|~~MediaWiki]]-based wiki dedicated to discussing election-methods related material. It is a spinoff of [~~https://electorama.com electorama~~[Electorama.com]], which was a [[Dreamhost]]-hosted website started in 2003 by ~~[[User:RobLa\|~~Lanphier]] as a complementary site to the [[election-methods mailing list]] (started in 1996, also by ~~[[User:RobLa\|~~Lanphier]]). InEver ~~the~~since ~~twelve~~2005, ~~years~~the ~~between~~Electorama ~~2006 and 2018,~~wiki ~~Electowiki~~has ~~was~~been hosted at wiki.electorama.com. In 2018, [[User:~~Psephomancy\|~~Psephomancy]] ported the wiki.electorama.com content over to [https://electowiki.miraheze.org electowiki.miraheze.org], hosted by [[m:Miraheze\|Miraheze]]. In response, Lanphier registered "electowiki.org", and began slowly redirecting traffic from wiki.electorama.com to electowiki.org. In December 2019, Lanphier finished the ~~site~~redirect project. The Electorama wiki is no longer available as wiki.electorama.com redirects to ~~you~~a ~~see~~default ~~today~~page. == Journal == Below is a reverse chronological set of site notices, which also serve as a slightly-more detailed history of this wiki. than the paragraphs above. === 2019-12-09 note from ~~[[User:~~RobLa~~\|RobLa]]~~=== :''posted by [[User:RobLa]]'' Last night, I set up redirects from almost all of the main namespace content on wiki.electorama.com to point here (e.g. [https://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=0&hideredirects=1 almost all of the main namespace pages on wiki.electorama.com]). As of right now, the pages are explicitly listed, so new pages created on wiki.electorama.com won't automatically redirect, and the page histories for everything should be intact. === 2019-12-01 note from [[User:RobLa\|RobLa]]===
