:Hmm....I agree with you that "Website" is a vague category name (and "Web page" is even worse). But I think we're going to have to endure some vagueness until someone proposes a better taxonomy for the links in that section. I just noticed that Wikipedia uses "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Websites Category:Websites]", and then the categories below are not "[[w:MECE|MECE]]" (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive). I have more ideas, but just ping me in one of the usual spots (e.g. on CES's [[Discord]] server) and we can sort things out. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 02:13, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

== Shuffling ==

It seems to me that this page is long overdue for splitting up into several pages and better organization. {{ping|Psephomancy}} had planned to do some more work on this page a couple of years ago, which I may have been guilty of discouraging. Here's a closer look at some of the incremental things that need to occur:

* Rename "[[Voting links#Websites]]" section title of the "Voting links" article to a new section title: "[[Voting links#Links|#Links]]"
* Move the links from the "[[Voting links#Discussion groups]]" to the "[[Forum]]" article
* Move the links from the "[[Voting links#Polling sites]]" section to the existing "[[Online poll]]" article
* Move the links from the "[[Voting links#Software]]" section to the existing "[[Software]]" article
* Create an [[election data]] page from the "[[Voting links#Election data]]" section

I may start doing that soon, barring objections from others. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 00:00, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
