[[User:Psephomancy]], now I see why you were eager to use Categories as names. I remember [[User:Homunq]] believed pretty strongly that we should start calling them "Voting systems" rather than "Electoral systems". But "[[wikipedia:electoral system|electoral system]]" won on Wikipedia, and I'm guessing that's the mainstream academic name. "Electoral system" makes '''way''' more sense to me as a name. |

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.

Naming
User:Psephomancy, now I see why you were eager to use Categories as names. I remember User:Homunq believed pretty strongly that we should start calling them "Voting systems" rather than "Electoral systems". But "electoral system" won on Wikipedia, and I'm guessing that's the mainstream academic name. "Electoral system" makes way more sense to me as a name.
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? -- RobLa (talk) 23:55, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
