How this is worked out

Vote type, bill stage, free votes and key votes are worked out by this site from titles, dates and how each party split. They are not the Parliament’s own classification.

Kind and stage come from the motion title and reference (".1" references are amendments) and, for bills, the bill’s stage dates.
Bill links are shown only when the title matches a bill’s name and the vote falls within that bill’s passage.
Free vote means two or more parties each split by 15% or more, with ten or more MSPs off their party line. Parties rarely announce free votes in the data, so this is a likely sign, not a record.
Key vote means a bill’s Stage 1 or final vote, a budget vote, a likely free vote, or a result decided by three votes or fewer.
Against party line counts MSPs whose vote differed from the majority of their own party (independents excluded).
