In addition to the listed voting methods (e.g. proportional representation, IRV, Condorcet), this page should mention other prominent voting systems, including plurality voting, plurality with runoff, and approval voting.
''Old discussion moved to [[Project:The caucus]], which is where discussion about the site should go.''

Alternatively, there should be a link to an editable main page. This would allow the main page to be free from vandalism, while at the same time allowing a single point for the editable hierarchy.

== Cleaning up categories ==
There are many different variants of the same category names.
[[User:Homunq]]'s definitions:
<blockquote>A note on terminology: “Electoral system” means all the election rules of a given country, including voter and candidate eligibility, elections for different offices, campaign rules, etc. “Voting method” is the formal mathematical part of that; the algorithm that determines what information must go on each ballot and how that information is aggregated to choose a winner. I’ve avoided the term “voting system” because it’s ambiguous; it could refer to either of the above, or to the specific machines used for casting ballots.</blockquote>
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Categories/en#Redirecting_a_category says:
<blockquote>Like normal wiki pages, category pages can be redirected to other normal or category pages. However, this is not recommended, as pages categorized in redirected categories do not get categorized in the target category (bugzilla:3311). Some Wikimedia sites use a "category redirect" template to mark redirected categories, allowing manual or automated cleanup of pages categorized there.</blockquote>
Wikipedia style says
<blockquote>categories are almost always given plural titles and many templates are as well.</blockquote>
So I'll re-categorize each page under "voting methods" and delete "voting systems" categories. [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 03:39, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
