==Categories==
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]].
 
== Election-related templates ==
When writing an official definition of a voting method, place it in a [[Template:Definition|definition template]]:<syntaxhighlight>
{{definition|
If every voter's preference between X and Y remains unchanged, then the group's preference between X and Y will also remain unchanged with the addition of a new candidate
}}
</syntaxhighlight>(Currently this just produces a block quote, but we might make this prettier in the future, which would affect all instances of the template simultaneously. Discuss on [[Template talk:Definition]].)
