Candidate column?
[edit]Surely there should be a column for the number of candidates fielded? Thought I'd ask before implementing as the template seems widely used but it seems like having a football league table without the number of games played. MGSpiller (talk) 06:48, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Replace current page with User:RandomCanadian/sandbox6 (simple colour fix so the two headers match) RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 15:23, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: This changes the width of the plus-minus (vote percentage difference) column from a defined 40px to 4em, which allows for arrow graphics templates (i.e. {{decrease}} and {{increase}}) to work properly, if editors prefer them over + and - symbol characters.
See User:UndueMarmot/sandbox/Election summary begin and User:UndueMarmot/testcases/Election summary begin.
Diff:

(You can clearly tell table formatting syntax doesn't work well inside {{TextDiff}}, so, here:
! style="width:4em"|+/−

Please add the "standard" stuff so that the documentation and categories are in the doc sub-page and can be edited by mortals — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 15:26, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Done. Mortals welcome. I'm not sure about ghosts, though. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:49, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Background of title
[edit]Would it be an idea to remove the grey background of the title, given that it is the default for tables on Wikipedia? Dajasj (talk) 12:04, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
Font size
[edit]Why has this got a font size of 95%? Small font size changes are distracting and do not improve readability. Ox Melissa (talk) 07:49, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
