: This is a really good idea! My MediaWiki markup+template writing skills aren't (yet) up to the task, but if there is someone here who could make an attempt at page design, that would be greatly appreciated.
: One other thought: this seems like it would be a perfect task for Wikidata since Wikidata is designed for this. As an example, I just added a claim that Copeland's method complies with the monotonicity criterion to the Wikidata page for Copeland's method: ([[d:Q5168347|Wikidata Q5168347]]). The Wikidata item for a Wikipedia article can be found on almost every Wikipedia article; in the left navigation column, under "Tools", there's a "Wikidata item" link. I did not yet add a citation for
: By itself, that doesn't solve the problem for Electowiki, but we already have links between Electowiki articles and their English Wikipedia counterparts. We could start creating more direct links between Electowiki articles and their Wikidata counterparts. Thoughts? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 20:36, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
: Yes, that's a great idea, and Wikidata seems to have this functionality already. I'm not sure how the technical side works, but I think we can install Wikibase here and have our "own Wikidata" that can still "transclude" info from the main Wikidata?

:: I'm not very enthusiastic about maintaining a separate Wikidata instance here, but I'm not going to stop you or anyone else from adding it. It seems to me it's a little early to try forking Wikidata's election method data collection. Let's try to come up with a way of expressing compliance in English prose over here, and perhaps come up with template for compliance that we can embed in each method's page. Over the long haul, I'm hopeful that Wikidata will be a good centralized source for compliance information. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 17:26, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
