Regardless of what we decide to rename the [[Voting system]] article to, I think we should make that article the main article for this category, and only have a brief category description here, in a style similar to Wikipedia. But category renames are such a pain to do, I'm happy with leaving [[:Category:Voting methods]] in its current location. Thoughts? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 23:55, 12 April 2020 (UTC) |

:: That was a thinko. I meant to say "eager to use Category pages as articles", but then I don't remember exactly what I was driving at. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 06:34, 16 April 2020 (UTC) |

:: That could be. My main recollection was the push for "voting __" rather than "election __" or "electoral __". I prefer using "election __" or "electoral __", and that seems to be what Wikipedia has settled on. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 06:34, 16 April 2020 (UTC) |
