: One way to address this concern is to create a wiki article with links to different users' voting methods (hosted on their own page) with the disclaimer that there may be errors. That way, users can create as many methods as they want, and then plop a link to a category of them on their user page from this article.

[[User:Psephomancy]], what would be a good name for an article that encompasses both majority rule and utilitarianism? I think it'd be interesting to make the overarching point that majority rule only counts the number of people who prefer one outcome over another, while utilitarianism also accounts for their strength of preference.

I'd like to make a page regarding "allocation methods". Specifically, it should serve as a category for highest-averages and largest remainder methods, and talk a little about some of the impossibilities of creating a perfect allocation method. I think "allocation method", "seat allocation method", "apportionment method" would be good names for such an article, but what do you think?

What would be a good way to organize the wiki to describe various commonly discussed voter distributions, such as "bipolarized" (majority vs. minority), "3-cyclic" (3 factions that create a Condorcet cycle), etc? I'm thinking a section could be created under the [[Statistics]] page perhaps. But I'd like to see if more organization can be created such that the resulting page can service more than just a handful of voter distributions i.e. link to and be providing knowledge for more things.
