(Fixing links to parliamentary government formation and anarchy. VisualEditor made a few changes of its own, too.)
Line 29:
*[[:Category:Advocacy|'''Advocacy''']] is for descriptions about real-world reform: organizations, legislation, lobbying, and arguments for choosing one reform over another.
*[[:Category:Elections|'''Elections''']] is for articles that analyze real or hypothetical elections under different methods, and examine their properties and outcomes.
*[[:Category:Forms of government|'''Forms of government''']] is the level "above" election methods: Representative vs direct democracy, government structure and, [[parliamentary government formation|formation]], etcand even [[anarchy]].
*[[:Category:Voting mechanics|'''Voting mechanics''']] deals with real-world implementation details, such as paper ballots and electronic voting machines.
*[[:Category:Voting theory|'''Voting theory''']] deals with the properties of voting methods and the criteria they can meet, scenarios in which they fail, etc.
 
=== Other pages ===
Not all pages on Electowiki are neatly categorized. It is still possible to find them in one of these places:
 
* '''[https://electowiki.org/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=0&hideredirects=1 Special:AllPages]''' — this is a tool to find all of the pages on this wiki.
* '''[[:Category:Contents|Category:Contents]]''' - this is a full hierarchical category tree. Most important pages have been added to a category of some sort
 
Of course, there's always [[Special:Search]] as well.
 
=== About the project ===
'''electowiki''' is closely associated with the [[Election-methods mailing list]], but is more broadly for communities of election-minded people.

Some facts about ''electowiki'':
* This project began in January 2005, with an article started on Wikipedia, but has since expanded to include more detailed information about election methods which are still under development and may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
* electowiki currently has {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles in the main collection, as well as many other policy pages, talk pages, and user pages.
* electowiki.org (hosted by [[meta:Miraheze|Miraheze]]) was started in 2018 with content copied over from the old [[Electorama wiki]] site in late 2018, and became a much more active [[wiki]].
* The original home (at [https://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Main_Page wiki.electorama.com]) has a more accurate view of page edit histories of prior to September 2018 (with proper links to authors), and (as of this writing in November 2020) may show up in search engines for some searches.
* Since wiki.electorama.com is more-or-less decommissioned, this wiki ([[electowiki]]) has more-or-less superseded the old [[Electorama wiki]].
