== About electowiki ==
'''electowiki''' has a long history, divided into two phases:
Ever since its foundation in 2005, the community of editors of this wiki have served two roles:
 
* Passionate advocates for [[electoral reform]]
* The '''[[Project:Electorama wiki]]''' phase (2005-2018) - prior to [[Miraheze]] hosting it.
* Believers in open and honest discussion about [[electoral system]]s
* The '''[[Project:electowiki]]''' phase (2018-now) - the current phase as of this writing in June 2020. See [[electowiki:About]] to learn about this phase.
 
As a result, even though this website looks a lot like [[Wikipedia]], we don't pretend to have a dispassionate "neutral point of view" (or [[NPOV]]) that [[Wikipedia]] strives for. That said, you might find that the "electowiki point of view" (or [[EPOV]]) is very similar.
 
We encourage you to edit the site. Though it's possible to edit electowiki "anonymously", when you edit, your [[Wikipedia:IP address|IP address]] is revealed. Because of that, we recommend that you [[Help:Account|sign up for an account]], and help us edit '''electowiki'''!
 
'''electowiki''' has a long history, divided into two phases which you can read more about in these two pages:
 
* '''[[Project:About Electorama wiki]]''' - this page describes the first phase (from 2005 until 2018 or so)
* '''[[Project:About electowiki]]''' phase (2018-now) - this page describes the website you are on right now. Read this page to learn about the transition to the current phase of [[electowiki]] development
