Button pusher → Piano voting in Ukraine – The name "button pushing" is indeed a commonly used name for the illegal practice of voting for absent parliamentarians in Ukraine, but it is not WP:PRECISE since in English it just means pushing a button. The term "piano voting" is about equally as commonly used for this practice as indicated by Google Scholar results, and has the benefit of precisely identifying this phenomenon. The stipulation "Ukraine" is necessary since this phenomenon has also been observed in Russia, Armenia, and other countries. (t · c) buidhe 16:17, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

I agree that the current title needs to be changed, but should it include "in Ukraine"? There is a section for "in other countries". Currently, the only other country listed is Armenia, but there could be more, including the United States: [1] [2] [3]. Egsan Bacon (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Egsan Bacon, I think that the right solution would be to create another article piano voting where each country is discussed. There's vastly disproportionate RS about this practice in Ukraine which is much more widespread than other countries.[4] (t · c) buidhe 20:24, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
