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?

Would it be a good idea to have an article explaining some notations often used in voting theory? For example, I think it'd be good to have some redirects such that someone reading Schulze's PDF on his voting method could quickly learn what all the symbols means, as well as find any notations specific to voting theory, such as the formatting of the ballots.

:: See page 183, for example, of https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1804/1804.02973.pdf for Schulze's PDF with confusing symbols. I know many in the voting theory community are already familiar with set-theoretic notation and such, but it seems a good idea to me to at least offer a pointer to unfamiliar folks that they should go to this or that article to decode these symbols.
