* '''Privately-discussed ideas should be ''publicly'' well vetted''' - if you have a great idea for a new voting method, please don't immediately create a new Electowiki page in the main namespace describing the method as if it's an accepted fact. Instead, please vet the issue on the one of the [[:Category:Forum|well-known forums among election method activists]], or restrict your publishing of the idea to your userspace on Electowiki.


Real-world voting reform advocacy and organizational work are also welcome, though we [[Electowiki:The_caucus#Advocacy.2FPropaganda_development.3F|don't yet have a policy for how to organize it]]. We may want to add a bias template to advocacy articles in the mainspace, for example. As for your own userspace, anything is fair game, as long as it's election-related.
