[edit]The numbers in the table make no sense. They are unsourced, and e.g. South Down seems to have 106 % voters. I understand that there are plenty of votes in some areas for e.g. Alliance party, and that that would make sums < 100%, but as it is now, these numbers may just as well be somone's imagination.

The map (uploaded in 2007) looks as if it covers the constituencies used at the 2005 General Election. A better map for the 2010 and 2015 General Elections is at http://www.boundarycommission.org.uk/pc2010-overview-big.jpg with obvious visual differences including Foyle being smaller and East Antrim stretching further north. --Rumping (talk) 09:45, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Alphabetical order
[edit]Imma put the tables in alphabetical order by constituency. Shout if there's a good reason not to. sam (talk) 05:24, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
Link colour
[edit]Hi @OwenBlacker: I'd love to have done what you did to the final table, and put all dark-cell-background links in white text. But it's against the rules to do that even for aesthetics, since the colour communicates link status: Help:Link color. This is why I employed white text background for the purpose a few weeks ago. Looks horrible, but is at least readable. – sam💬 20:02, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Samillar94: I'm not so sure it would be against the rules in that way — certainly the accessibility concerns would be important. An alternative might be to colour it how WikiProject Succession Box Standardisation handled the accessibility concerns — see Template:S-start/doc#Headers.
- For example, I've created a template at User:OwenBlacker/sandbox/Constituency affiliation example that would make the data entry easier (it could be made even simpler by adding colspan as an optional argument) that could lead to the tables looking like this, which would be much better for accessibility:
- Concede the point on accessibility - and by gum, that looks amazing. Fire away! – sam💬 22:12, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
