message: 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)

message: 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.

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

text: **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.
