Please avoid using alternatives to the official algorithm unless there is a compelling reason to do so in your locale.
- Alternative algorithms are appropriate for island regions or small countries without open borders. In such cases, please work towards a clear consensus with others in your graticule on the best alternative method for your region.
- By using an alternate algorithm where it is not appropriate, you effectively fragment your graticule, reducing the number of people who might come to the same meetup.
Usage
Simply add {{Alternate algorithm}} to any page to include the above announcement.
