::: [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]], [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]], or [[User:Marylander | Marylander]], do any of you have opinions on if the processes and electoral methods for forming a government after the general election deserves a page? I really only know about the one system currently there so it would be great if this page could be expanded. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 20:11, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
:::: As I understand it, this page is meant to describe the possible application of election methods, in this case for forming a government. I kind of see both your points. On the one hand, the article is about how voting methods could be used in government formation, not about government as an institution. On the other, it's a bit tangential to election methods themselves, and it would seem strange to discuss how to change something (in this case government) without at mentioning what that something is. So I would say it comes up to what style electowiki is going for.
:::: If a page on X can be relatively light on X itself and then have a long section about something that has to do with both X and voting methods, then the relabel to Government seems reasonable. But if it's more like Wikipedia (where you'd have an article on a country, and then "Politics of Country" as a separate page), then electoral reform in the service of changing government procedure could use a page of its own. In any case, it could use a rewrite/edit as [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] pointed out.
:::: A third option would be to move the relevant information to the pages on the various voting methods, so that if FPTP is used for government formation, this gets referred to there. This is in effect what pages on specialized methods like [[delegable proxy]] already do, but the information would become more fragmented by doing so.
