East Gosford

Can someone please have a look at why East Gosford is not working. For some reason a couple of political parties are showing on two lines. And it is mucking up the rest of the article. .....Todd^#661 09:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Due to a problem I wasn't able to get around when I was designing it (mainly due to the fact that there is an unknown number of boxes on any given page), the template needs to be put in a table. Orderinchaos 11:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bold text

I suggest that in the short mode, the "2004 federal election" (for example) text ought not be bolded, because that bold style is not consistent with MOS:BOLD. In the normal mode, it is a table heading, but not in the short mode. Mitch Ames (talk) 03:59, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've made the change. I've also remove the bold from long mode, because they are column headings, not a table heading. Mitch Ames (talk) 08:57, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Colours

Is there any way to add colours to parties that do not have a "code"? For example, at Bayswater, Western Australia#Governance, all the parties that do not have a "code" just have white next to them, instead of a colour. Is the best way just to add those parties to the template, so they have a code? Steelkamp (talk) 04:28, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
