Template talk:US Senator succession box

message: I added text for showing what class the senators were in. I set a default parameter, however, this means pages which aren't updated will show an ugly "Class ?". Therefore, I'm going to try to change all the uses, and look up the value, but bear with me as I try to change this. I think that this should be on these templates, so here goes. --Mathwizard1232 05:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I made some requested changes so that this template can produce 'incumbent' style text if no 'after' parameter is set and a 'start' parameter is used. Thereafter I changed Template:Incumbent U.S. Senator box to redirect to this page. Thus the 'incumbent' and 'regular' forms can both be used exactly as they were before or incumbents can call this template directly with the parameters they previously used for the 'Incumbent U.S. Senator box'. --CBDunkerson 01:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Class

message: There seems to be some opposing viewpoints with this.  Should it be U.S. or United States.  I personally think that what ever it is, the US rep box should be the same.  Any thoughts? American Patriot 1776 20:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion: I suggest we remove "alongside" from the box.
Deadline for consensus: March 12007.
 
Reason: It's excessive and mostly irrelevant. Many senators already have many other boxes and this just clutters things up.  I would also suggest removing the class, but that's a separate argument.—Markles 13:39, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Proposal:  I propose we remove "alongside" from the box.  Frankly I think "class" can go, too.  I did a lot to implement them a while ago, but now I'm changing my mind.
Reason: It's excessive and unnecessary.   Do I need to know that John Kerry served alongside Ted Kennedy?  It clutters up the article.  I admit it's not a strong reason, but if this page weren't protected, I would have just edited it, and that would be it.—Markles 22:38, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

The only template listed in this section is now a redlink. I suggest the section's removed. Bazj (talk) 09:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Could somebody replace
 – 
with
{{#ifexpr: {{Str find|{{{start}}}| }} >= 0 | – |–}}?
This is to fix the spacing around the en dash according to MOS:ENDASH. This same fix has already been applied at Template:USRepSuccessionBox. Thanks.

Suggestion: I suggest we link "Class" to the article that explains classes; i.e., change "Class" to "Class".
Deadline for consensus:  (tbd)
Reason: The idea of Senate classes is not obvious to everyone, and it deserves explanation. The wikilink would add value without degrading the readability of the box. Peter Chastain (talk) 23:21, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
