message: See the discussion at Talk:List of United States Congressional districts#Better Rename A District.
We're about to change the names of all the district articles, and then this template will change, too.  This should be done by May 15, 2006.   Right now, I've created a test template, .  It uses the new naming method.  Once all the articles are changed, then I'll copy the code from  into this template, .—Markles 13:17, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Better Rename A District

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the only purpose for this template is to save a few keystrokes when creating a piped link to a congressional district, i.e. "" instead of "5th". The cost of this one-time slight convenience, however, is a lifetime of increased server load and editing obfuscation. Although the instructions suggest substituting the template (which obviously makes the most sense), over 2000 articles are currently transcluding this template. That means thousands and thousands of extra server hits every day and confusion from editors trying to edit the articles who have no idea what "ushr" is. First, we should go through all the articles that transclude this template and change them to substitutions. Since there are several thousand, this will obviously require a bot. After that is complete, I would propose eliminating this template entirely unless we can successfully get editors to start substituting the template consistantly. What are other editor's opinions on this? Kaldari 19:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ragarding '''s's''' for states ending with letter s

message: When the pipe () is blank, then a red-linked  comes out.
What ought to come out is the whole link: 's th congressional district]] without the pipe.

thread_title:  What about adding a fourth parameter 

message: Some of the states don’t seem to wanna display, i.e. Minnesota at Tom Hagedorn. Any way this can be fixed? Thanks! 66.87.148.125 (talk) 13:46, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

message: What input abbreviations do need to be given for territorial districts that are now defunct? For example, if I want to refer to Hawaii Territory's at-large congressional district instead of Hawaii's at-large congressional district, how is that distinguished for this Template? Similarly, Utah Territory's at-large congressional district instead of Utah's at-large congressional district. The Philippines had two concurrent Resident Commissioners for a period, how would those be distinguished?

message: On line B, change "At-large" to "at-large" so that the template output is NY at-large and GA at-large. This way better matches the linked articles New York's at-large congressional seat and Georgia's at-large congressional district, among others. Woko Sapien (talk) 19:46, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
