:: [[User:Dr. Edmonds]] I'm just asking that you put category tags on the new articles that you create. I'm not asking you to categorize other articles you aren't involved with. As the creator of an article about a voting method, you're the most likely to be knowledgeable about which properties it has. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 01:15, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
::: [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] For the most part I thought I had been. I have done my best to come up with a taxonomy. Anyway, I finally have a little time to look into this. Is there a way we can build a template which could be filled out for each system? This would help with Taxonomy. Something like what exists for band like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica page. There are several things which could be filled I will give an example for my system since I know it best
<poem>
'''Number of Winners''': Multi Winner
'''Ballot Type''': Cardinal
'''Vote Target''': Candidate (as apposed to parties in a partisan system)
'''Selection Procedure''': Sequential (Others being Bloc or optimal)
'''Proportionality Class''' : Unitary (Others being Theile, Phragmen, Monroe or None)
'''Single winner reduction''' : Score
'''Party List reduction''': Hamilton Method
</poem>
::: Does this seem like a good idea? If standardized it could really help for quick comparison. This is just a first pass on what sort of things we could add to such a template. There could also be things like Inventor. First used. ect --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 17:51, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
