[edit] U.S. state legislatures

{{editprotected}} The two references to "U.S. state assemblies" should be changed to read "U.S. state legislatures", as that term is more widely used within the United States. --Tim4christ17 talk 17:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

done. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clarification requested per discussion.

{{editprotected}} Let's wait a bit before changing this, then. Per discussion here and here, please replace the U.S. legislature codes with the following code sections. I've replaced "upr" and "lwr" with "sen", "hs", and "asy" respectively.

The code for the first section (template code) is here. The code for the second section (template description) is here. --Tim4christ17 talk 11:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Nobody has ever mentioned "asy"; the agreed change was to substitute "upr" with "sen" and "lwr" with "hs", despite the fact that a few states have assemblies; introducing an "asy" parameter would ruin consistency and confuse the editors. Waltham, The Duke of 18:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
My understanding was that the decision was to use the "obvious" abbreviation with relation to the name of the legislative branch. "hs" for "house", "sen" for "senate". No, we didn't decide on a term to use for assemblies - if you can think of a more obvious parameter for assemblies than "asy", go ahead and use it instead. The consistency/confusion comes if we use "hs" to refer to assemblies, since that term has nothing to do with houses - the terms otherwise are directly related to the name of the legislative branch. --Tim4christ17 talk 18:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
The thing is, there are people who do value consistency. Don't you think there should be a consensus for the "asy" parameter as well? Waltham, The Duke of 18:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Referred back to the discussion here. Though I don't know why you think I don't value consistency. Rather, I value the consistency of labeling the legislative branches by the name of the branch, as was discussed previously. What I dislike is the elitism that is (perhaps unconsciously) promoted by using confusing, inconsistent, non-obvious parameters as you suggest. Again, I point you to the Manual of Style (we "should prefer what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity") and to the reason stated for the consensus we developed for "sen" and "hs", namely to preserve/enhance clarity and to avoid the false consistency that appeared when we used one term across the board for unlike terms. Indeed, using "hs" for all lower houses is worse than using "lwr" with respect to assemblies as it retains the original problems and adds the new problem that "hs" is a false descriptor having nothing to do with assemblies. Far better to three parameters that are clear, obvious, and consistent than two that aren't. --Tim4christ17 talk 20:11, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
The thing is, most Americans don't seem to know that there are houses called "Assembly", and assemblies are not any different from houses in everything but their names. And I personally find it strange that we should use a generalising parameter hs for houses that might have all sorts of different names like "House of Representatives" or "House of Delegates" but use a more specialising header asy just because those six houses don't have the word "House" in their name. It sets them apart in a way, and that is something people may not understand without reading these conversations.
What you say about hs being worse than lwr is entirely true if you look it under this light, but if we are to align parameters to names, we ought to develop something along the lines of hsr for "House of Representatives", hsd for "House of Delegates", and so on. That might even have the added benefit of making all parameters have three letters. But it might not work, after all. Why? Because it is even more confusing, and it will make people having to memorise all sorts of different of parameters, which is, of course, undesirable.
What I say is, leave the two parameters hs and sen, as they follow one simple format for all legislatures of the United States (happy birthday to them, by the way), which will be able to memorise and use in all succession boxes without an instructions manual. The thing is, these parameters are used to automatically produce the header name so that people will not have to do that instead. There is no need for a perfect match as long as people understand and accept the system. Waltham, The Duke of 13:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
One short response - you mention that peolpe won't know that we have assemblies...but the people using this parameter obviously will know - after all, they're writing about someone who's served in an assembly and have presumably done the research needed to find out how long the person served in the assembly. --Tim4christ17 talk 17:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
I see this conversation as going no where. Regardless of who has assemblies and who does not, I think it should remain as "hs" to designate it as the lower house in the United States. I like consistency and all and I believe in this case that it is more consistent to keep all the lower houses as "hs" as opposed to having four or so of them labeled as "asy." Despite my own creation of abbreviations (see "ttl") I don't think "asy" embraces the concept of assembly, although I agree that the most logical abbreviation may not be universally accepted either. Sticking with "hs" is my final decision.

[edit] Editprotected request

{{editprotected}} It appears I've been outvoted....oh, well. Let's get this changed ASAP anyway. Here's the new requested code (replaces upr with sen and lwr with hs per discussion above). The code for the first section (template code) is here. The code for the second section (template description) is here. (This also fixes Iowa, so there is only one set of parameters referring to each house of the legislature - essentially reverting a change that I'd made before it was protected). --Tim4christ17 talk 19:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

For those admin who are not making this edit, this was approved and can be changed. It took some further negotiation but it is all resolved now.
–Whaleyland ( Talk • Contributions ) 21:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
I made the change. I also implemented the documentation trick, so the docs are now in the /doc subpage, and not protected. That makes maintenance easier. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
This change needs to be done again - apparently Carl accidentally removed the non-U.S. state parameters...and his entire change was reverted. --Tim4christ17 talk 02:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
It would be simpler if you would put the entire desired template source in your sandbox, to avoid such misinterpretation of your requested changes. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Here's the entire code - just replace the template's current contents with it. Hope this helps! --Tim4christ17 talk 02:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I copied that over. It's much less error prone if you make all requests that way. — Carl (CBM · talk) 23:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. --Tim4christ17 talk 07:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

{{editprotected}}

Uhm, the parameters for the federal Congress have not been changed into the new format. Please someone change the parameter for the United States Senate header from us-upr to us-sen and the parameter for the United States House of Representatives from us-lwr to us-hs. The same change has been done for the rest of the state legislatures, per discussion above and in other venues linked to above. Waltham, The Duke of 18:30, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. --MZMcBride 22:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much. I have corrected the /doc page, which now reflects the changes. Waltham, The Duke of 06:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parliament of Canada

Y Done Could someone, who ever has access change Canadian House of Commons back to Parliament of Canada?, this header is used for the Canadian Senate succession boxes as well. --Cloveious 07:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Diet of Japan

Y Done

{{editprotected}} It would be appreciated if someone adds the headers for the Diet of Japan. |jp-upr=House of Councillors of Japan |jp-lwr=House of Representatives of Japan

[edit] Removal of la parameter

{{editprotected}} It has been made aware during our discussion concerning the removal of the parameter la that actually that two-letter code is already the official code (ISO 3166) for Laos and on those grounds I request the immediate removal of la as a parameter on this page. Despite the status of the discussion located here, it is clear that this parameter is limiting the ability for the Laos parliament to be recognized using the proper abbreviation. Please remove la from the internal parameters as well as the list parameters. Thank you!
–Whaleyland ( Talk • Contributions ) 00:50, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, I believe that a header for Local Assemblies is quite redundant in its over-generalisation and relative lack of importance. In my opinion, it should go anyway. Waltham, The Duke of 09:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Consensus there does seem to be in favour of removing the parameter, but this is a very new request and I'd prefer to leave it open a while to wait for objections. Can someone confirm that the parameter isn't currently being used (or change all uses of it)? --ais523 16:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I have personally done a search on wikipedia and google:wikipedia for this parameter and have found no page currently using it. I believe that the Laos reason is reason enough to remove it regardless of further discussion.
–Whaleyland ( Talk • Contributions ) 18:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Y Done! Neil ╦ 08:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed problem...please insert

{{editprotected}}

Please replace

{{{else=Assembly Seats||{{{test={{{1|}}}|1|}}}}}}{{#switch:{{{1}}}

with

{{#if:{{{1}}}||Assembly seats}}{{#switch:{{{1}}} |#default={{{1|Assembly seats}}}

This will fix the problem of no null parameter and will default properly to Assembly seats. I am trying to get it on all the templates but it is taking some time.

[edit] Other Northern Ireland bodies

{{editprotected}} I would like to suggest headers for four other legislative bodies that have existed in Northern Ireland between Stormont and the current Assembly:


ni/1973=[[Northern Ireland Assembly]] (1973-1974)

This header would be for the Northern Ireland Assembly, elected in 1973 under the terms of the Sunningdale Agreement; it collapsed the following year.


ni/1975=[[Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention]]

This header would be for the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention, elected in 1975 to discuss Northern Ireland's future government.


ni/1982=[[Northern Ireland Assembly]] (1982-1986)

This header would be for the Northern Ireland Assembly, elected in 1982 to graduly devolve powers to NI. It was abolished in 1986.


ni/forum=[[Northern Ireland Forum]]

This header would be for the Northern Ireland Forum, elected in 1996 to negotiate what became the Belfast Agreement; it sat until 1998.


Also, because of this, the current NI Assembly header should read: [[Northern Ireland Assembly]] (1998-present)

- Thanks, Hoshie 23:13, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure the dates will look good on the headers, and perhaps something like "First Northern Ireland Assembly" would be better (note that I am not saying we should not disambiguate at all). After all, the dates can be seen in the title fields of the succession lines immediately following the headers. Waltham, The Duke of 08:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
"First Northern Ireland Assembly" would be misleading there is no relationship between the 1882 Assembly and those setup under the Good Friday Agreement.--padraig 11:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Change wikilink for Texas Senate

Please change:

Please add as a paramater au-sa with a link to Parliament of South Australia. Just like the Victorian and NT one. Thanks --Borgardetalk 04:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be better to create the headers for all the Parliaments in Australia in one go? Just to spare everyone the extra trouble. I reckon the abbreviations are not hard to find. Waltham, The Duke of 17:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Y - done, just put a note here again if others are desired. SkierRMH (talk) 09:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
I am only saying this because I know that all the remaining headers will be requested eventually. And "less edits for the same result" could be one of the definitions of efficiency. But I don't really mind that much. Waltham, The Duke of 16:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. Public Office

Please add a parameter for "U.S. Public Office" it does not need to link to anything.--Dr who1975<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/navpop.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&dontcountme=s"> (talk) 17:29, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I am afraid that I do not understand. What exactly would the purpose of a "U.S. Public Office" header be and what does it have to do with the Parliaments header? What you are asking for sounds suspiciously similar to the header designed for political offices: s-off.
For more information about the header system in general, I should like to refer you to the relevant sections in the S-start series documentation page and in SBS's guidelines page. Waltham, The Duke of 17:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
It has nothing to do with parliament. This is a new section with a completely unrelated request just like the discussion about the Texas Senate has nothing to do with parliament. I would like a general "United States Public Office" paramter added to the template (something like {{S-par|us-po}} ) so that I can use it as a header for general Unitesd States public office succession boxes.--Dr who1975 (talk) 16:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
No matter whether it is parliament, congress, or any other assembly, it goes here because this is the talk page for the relevant header, which is only used for seats in the aforementioned bodies. In other words, the Texas Senate request was far from irrelevant. The best place for your request is probably the main templates' talk page, Template talk:S-start, because it doesn't exactly fit any existing templates. It will also be more visible there and thus receive more input.
I myself doubt the usefulness of a Public offices header; we already have specialised headers for political offices, posts in the government, military offices, legal offices, civil offices, diplomatic posts... You name it. I still don't know what exactly you define as "Public offices", or why a more generic header would be more useful than the existing system. In addition, we do not disambiguate headers by country (with the exception of peerages), as the country is more or less clearly shown in the title of each office; we prefer to categorise titles thematically, not least because most office-holders only occupy offices of one country. In my last reply I gave you two useful links—I should be more patient with you if I knew that you had actually read them.
By the way, we have met again, have we not? Again, under rather unpleasant circumstances. Really, this is bad for diplomatic relations; it is even greater a pity if one considers that we are both Doctor Who fans (I am a recent convert). Please forgive my somewhat negative mood, but I have a lot going on in my head (including the perennial delay of business in SBS). In any case, just sit down and think of this a little. And please explain your thoughts a little clearer, so that our discussion can go somewhere. Waltham, The Duke of 17:20, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I agree with a lot of the divisions on this template but there's too many subcategories. It subverts the purpose of succession boxes which is to give a chronological picture or related positions.--Dr who1975 (talk) 19:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
The thing is, the purpose of succession boxes is not necessarily to give a strictly chronological view of the titles. This is done in the article, after all, where the prose follows the course of the subject's life. Succession boxes, partly in order to justify their existence, are called to offer something different from the text—this is exactly why titles of nobility are listed in order of precedence, which is not simply different from the chronological one, but is quite often its exact opposite. Besides, thematic categorisation and headers ease navigation along succession chains. When designing succession boxes, you know, one has to look at the greater picture. This extends quite far beyond each individual article. Waltham, The Duke of 00:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] U.S. Congress

There are already two succession boxes which are widely employed for consistency:

They can be easily used with {{S-par}} and should not be subverted. —Markles 20:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Meaning? Waltham, The Duke of 00:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry. I meant that some users have been diligently applying {{S-par}} and it's sister compenents and removing the two aforementioned congressional templates. There's no reason to eliminate use of those templates, that's all.—Markles 00:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
    • I should think that the parliament header is irrelevant from the template used for the succession line itself, and that these editors confusing their relation are clearly mistaken. However, there are editors, like myself, who substitute the two templates in question in favour of templates of the S-start series, namely basic templates s-bef, s-ttl, and s-aft, as well as supplementary templates s-new, s-non, s-inc, and s-vac. These templates constitute a newer and more flexibe system that allows for succession boxes easy to use and adaptable to a much greater variety of succession configurations. I agree that certain standards need to be devised, but I consider the eventual substitution and phasing out of the rather "stiff", in terms of use, templates USRepSuccessionBox and U.S. Senator Box to be an improvement on several different levels.
      And, even agreeing with the fact that we are not yet in sight of such an eventuality, I should say that their usage ought not to be further encouraged. Especially in a header template page, which is, as I have already mentioned, quite irrelevant from the succession lines themselves. I find it highly probable that I might remove it in the future, or that it will be removed by some one else. I have already stated several reasons why this should happen. For more information on the matter, you could visit WikiProject Succession Box Standardization. We shall be glad to answer any question that might arise.
