• curprev 19:3519:35, 25 May 2023‎ RobLa talk contribs‎ 47,356 bytes +95‎ →‎2023-05-25: 1/ journaling in MediaWiki is still a bit complicated. Hopefully it'll get easier over time.
• curprev 06:5906:59, 25 May 2023‎ RobLa talk contribs‎ 47,261 bytes +310‎ →‎2023-05-24: 1/ Added a few Condorcet methods to Category:Monotonic electoral systems, based on seeing them listed as such on English Wikipedia: w:Category:Monotonic Condorcet methods.

• curprev 18:1718:17, 15 May 2023‎ RobLa talk contribs‎ 46,951 bytes +205‎ →‎2023-05-15: 1/ Contrary to popular belief, ABIF isn't dead. Sooner or later, I'll check something in on Github

• curprev 01:1601:16, 16 March 2022‎ RobLa talk contribs‎ 46,457 bytes +247‎ →‎2022-03-15: Two things: a) beware the w:Ides of March, and b) I heard an interesting rumor about Ranked Robin voting. I'll leave it at that, because it's dinnertime here in SF.

• curprev 12:1312:13, 3 March 2022‎ RobLa talk contribs‎ 46,170 bytes +700‎ →‎2022-03-03: 1/ I moved several old Electowidget pages into my user space (e.g. to User:RobLa/2009 Burlington, Vermont Mayoral Election - Kiss Voters, User:RobLa/2009 Burlington, Vermont Mayoral Election - Montroll Voters, etc). Well, 2022-03-03 isn't going to be as cool as 2022-02-02, since English speakers were all celebrating 2/2/22 (and the ambiguity therein). 3/3/22 is ambiguous too, but it's not as fun to talk about.

As anyone who has paid attention to Special:RecentChanges can see, I've been editing other pages a lot, but not this one. Oh well....

I decided to fix up the Main Page of electowiki, and then got distracted figuring out how to use Special:CategoryTree, and experimenting with transclusion. I also rewrote the lead section at the top of User:RobLa/Journal

There was a lot of cargo cult copying of templates that I didn't even fully understand myself. A lot of the Lua and other template magic that is way too complicated for the skill level of electowiki editors who specialize in electoral theory.
