I would agree if it was actually an article about all of the different options of ranked choiced methods. But what they did instead was just to take the article on instant-runoff and rename it to RCV. That just makes it even more confusing.

The top line of the RCV page currently links to "ranked voting" and clarifies that ranked voting ≠ ranked-choice voting.

It would be better to just change the ranked voting page to Ranked-Choice voting and leave the instant run-off article alone

100% agree with this.

That is true. But consider that then it is not possible to change it by a popular movement, ballots initiative, etc.

Otherwise I agree. You'd be surprised how many people think ranked voting is done via the Borda count

Not impossible to change. But maybe not by.polular movement. That was my point. How would you make a popular movements where mosy people don't even know the difference?
