To practice using wiki markup, please use [[Electowiki:Sandbox|the sandbox]].
Best practices for formatting articles generally follow the same rules as [[W:Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Wikipedia's Manual of style]]. This covers the rules for bolding key words in article intros, using sentence case for article titles and headings, using written-out titles instead of abbreviations, which order to put article sections, etc. We may make our own amendments to this if necessary, though.▼

We have a category hierarchy for articles starting at [[:Category:Contents]]. Please put new articles in appropriate categories, especially articles about voting methods. If you write an article about a Condorcet-compliant ranked method, put it in [[:Category:Condorcet methods]], for instance. Generally an article should be placed in a more-specific child category and not in its parent, even if the parent also applies. So a Condorcet method does not need to be placed in [[:Category:Preferential voting methods]], for instance, since that is already implied by being in [[:Category:Condorcet methods]].
