'''electowiki''' is a [[wiki]] which tries to make a plethora of [[electoral systems]] more understandable for [[advocacy|advocates]] of electoral reform. It has existed since 2005, and still enjoys frequent updates. We attempt to learn from online discussions in a number of [[forum]]s, helping new participants more quickly get up to speed, and summarize the conclusions of many different discussions.
 
'''electowiki''' has a long history, divided into two phases: the "[[Electorama wiki]]" phase and the [[electowiki]] phase. There are wiki pages describing each of them.
 
* The '''[[Project:Electorama wiki]]''' phase (2005-2018) - prior to [[Miraheze]] hosting it.
* The '''[[Project:electowiki]]''' phase (2018-now) - the current phase as of this writing in June 2020. See [[electowiki:About]] to learn about this phase.
 
* '''[[Project:About Electorama wiki]]''' - This page describes the [[Electorama wiki]] phase (note the uppercase "E"). It started in 2005 and historians will hopefully say it more-or-less ended in 2018. It was the phase prior to [[Miraheze]] hosting it. It was an instance of [[MediaWiki]] that [[User:RobLa]] started hosting as an offshoot of the [[Electorama]] project.
* The '''[[Project:About electowiki]]''' - this was the "[[electowiki]]" phase (2018-now) - the current phase as of this writing in June 2020. This started around the time that [[User:psephomancy]] migrated the [[Electorama wiki]] over to [[Miraheze]] (sometime in 2018). See [[electowiki:About]] to learn about this phase.
