Template talk:Irish elections

message: Is there a reason that the 1983 Presidential election is flagged as "uncontested" while the 1974 and 1976 are not? I am aware that the circumstances were different, in that the '83 election was scheduled and the other two were due to an unexpected vacancy, but the fact remains that there was no vote on any of these three occasions.

thread_title: Uncontested

message: Time to re-open this debate, I think. Now that the Local and European elections have been added we have not 1, not 3 but 5 Irish flags on the template. IMHO, this is way too may. My argument is the same as before; this is a template about 1 country which has 1 flag, therefore there is no need to repeat it, 4 times. I suggest a change to the National Elections template to allow these extra flags to be turned off. Snappy56 (talk) 08:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it should have "Voting in Ireland" (plus the flag) at the top, with the current 5 categories below it (flagless); maybe have the EU flag on the botom one as well. Sulmac (talk) 10:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I've removed the local and European elections as is standard for other countries. Local elections now has its own template , whilst all the European ones are on . This means there are only three rows as before. пﮟოьεԻ 57 14:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: An improvement, still has 2 flags too may, only needs 1 national flag at the top of the template. Repetition is redundant! Snappy56 (talk) 02:35, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I just added in the European elections, and they were promptly removed as "non-standard".
This template already includes presidential elections and referenda, so I don't see what harm is done by providing the reader with a handy way to navigate between the different nationwide ballots that have taken place in Ireland.
This may not be how the   template is used in other countries, but since the  template is only used on articles about Irish elections, I see no reason to conform with practice elsewhere. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Firstly, this template has been vastly improved, all the elections and referendums are in one template, and it only has one flag, brilliant! I have changed the alignment to left rather than centre because it looks alot better (imho) and it is pretty much the standard for navboxes. Any reason why it was centre aligned?

replies: text: I mentioned it on BHG's talk page, but I did so largley because on some other templates there might be only one elections in one group, but a couple of line's worth in another (e.g. the , where there has only been a few presidential elections, but numerous parliamentary ones (there are more extreme examples, e.g. the UK)). I just thought that having that left-aligned would look a little strange. пﮟოьεԻ 57 11:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this a huge improvement --well done Number57!  And I agree with Snappy: the standard left-aligned is easier to read. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:07, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cheers. Fair enough, I'll make them all left-aligned. пﮟოьεԻ 57 23:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
