Hey GroundZero: if you happen to drop by here, go check out British Columbia general election, 1898; my first attempt to apply it; tricky when not all members in a multi-member seat go to the same benches; so I tweak the order in that case so they can be side-by-side. Think I'm gonna ditch the electoral percentages; they're just clutter visually and don't have a useful context IMO; nice idea but on second thought.....Skookum1 09:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
- It looks sharp. I agree with you about the percentages. they would have to be explained somewhere otherwise, as is is not intuitive what they mean. Getting rid of them would also allow you to move the party back under the candidate's name, since it is the candidate who belongs to the party, not the riding.

[edit] Your chart
I have experimented with your chart to see if I could avoid the text-on-colour issue. Text on colour is hard to read for many people. See what you think. Ground Zero | t 22:26, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right; especially since the Tory/Grit and Gov/Opp colours are close to the link/nonlink colours. The colour column down the centre works for the "division", i.e. the floor of the House; and it's better than having it off to the sides. What do you think about having more columns? Cabinet designations, if available. L-G and Speaker?
- BTW just did British Columbia general election, 1907 for something to do; I'd heard of this but never seen it before - Richard McBride, then Premier, was simultaneously MLA for Dewdney as well as for Victoria City; went back and annotated the riding entries accordingly.
- I kind of wish there was a way to semi-automate this; where the combination of the year and the riding would "summon" the entry, but I realize we haven't set this up in a database: I see the list-succession concept but haven't figured out how to apply it here. I'll be doing succession-boxes for ridings, BTW, so there's going to be lists of members of the House; tricky part is the multi-member ridings; have to jerry-rig that somehow.Skookum1 22:43, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
- The chart is pretty wide already, so I don't think more columns would work well. How about putting the designation in brackets after the party name? See the first line below.
I'll tweak with that a bit and see; gonna clutter the cells; those designations could go in the government templates idea I mentioned over on your Talk page.
- Multi-member risings can be dealt with using "rowspan=2" just as you've used "colspan=2" in the template. See Vancouver and Victoria below.
-
- Saw that; cool; also noticed the extra-space thing which removes the lines between horizontally-neighboured cells; also graphically good.
- OOPS. Did I do that? Thought I'd preserved the un-lining between cells related horizontally, but it's back again. I put in a bold marking just after it; did that screw with it? I'll try adding spaces and see what happens.

- Tried it, couldn't get it. Maybe it was just a screen malfunction; or is there a way to format cell-boundaries in these things?
-
-
- I know that it was not uncommon for someone to run in more than one riding, and then quit one if he won more than one seat. It seems extraordinarily weird to think of someone representing two ridings, except that we're talking about British Columbia, so maybe it's not surprising. ;-) Would he have cast two votes in the Legislature?
-
- I'l try and find out. His is one of the better-recorded reigns in BC history, partly because of its length and because he established the party system here (which, believe it or not, was an improvement on the previous situation). Details of earlier characters are slim; not all have as extensive bios as he does, either.
- I can't help you with automation. The best I've been able to do is copy things into Notepad and use the "find and replace" function to speed things up a bit. Best of luck. Ground Zero | t 22:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
-
- I've adapted it now with Template:LegSeats3 Still can't figure out how to get those centre colour-columns to be the same width. Can you use "width=" before the colour-bar coding, i.e. in the same cell? I think the double-colour column adds something, don't you? Draperies, banners, bunting or something to that effect. Tempted to throw the provincial seal over the top, instead of just the grey banner-title, but....
One last note 'til later tonight: if a minority government, coalition partners are on the government side, ranked by party, then alphabetically, e.g. 1952 which I'll do next....and also "% of vote" to give an idea of mandate; beneath the party-name, presumably, or on the same line...hmmm titling of template needed now....sigh.Skookum1 01:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Do what you want with the table -- after all, I'm not going to be around to help you out on this, so it's your baby. I'm going to have to wind down my involvement in Wikipedia in the new year. I won't be out completely, but I won't have time for any big projects.
I'm getting the same weird widths in the centre column. I can't figure out why. As far as I can tell, the width is set by the number of blank spaces (nbsp) in the column, and those are the smae on both sides. If you're going to use colour columns on either side, you might consider reducing the width of the columns from four spaces to two spaces. It might provide a cleaner look, like the UK election charts.
I love the titles you've assigned, by the way. Regards, Ground Zero | t 03:15, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
