Local council election result table
What template would be used for a local election results table? -- [User]Jamie JCA[Talk] 03:54, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- In the first instance I would suggest using {{Election box}} for individual results or {{Election Summary Begin}} for summary results for the whole council. You can see the summary table in action on European Parliament election, 2009 (United Kingdom) and the individual result table on East Lothian (UK Parliament constituency).
- If neither of these suits your needs, reply here again and we can see what alternatives we can find. Road Wizard (talk) 10:44, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- I'm gonna try and test some templates in my sandbox. It's for a council election (Wirral Council election, 2008) by the way. -- [User]Jamie JCA[Talk] 21:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
- I've tried some in my sandbox. Can someone take a look if it's okay please? I'm also having a little trouble with the infobox election template, I can't get the following fields to display:
| title = Council majority
| before_election = No overall control
| before_colour = 808080
| after_election = No overall control
| after_colour = 808080
Also, the party colours won't display. -- [User]Jamie JCA[Talk] 20:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- I have fixed part of the problem with the infobox, but I am not sure if it can handle a "No overall control" situation. I am also unsure why some of the colours are not appearing. I will do some further research. Road Wizard (talk) 21:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Update of project banner
I have updated our project banner, {{WP UK Politics}}, so that it now runs off the generic {{WPBannerMeta}} template. It has allowed a significant simplification of our banner code, so another editor can make updates more easily if I drop off the radar for any reason. It has also allowed me to implement some useful new features:
There is also an option for including our to-do list within the banner, which I am currently considering implementing. Are there any comments or objections to these changes? Road Wizard (talk) 00:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
