Merger proposal

Proposal: Merge California and New York legislative infoboxes into a common State legislation infobox

I see two problems with the previous merge requests:

The proposed destination of U.S. legislation infobox was a very heavy template compared with New York legislation infobox and California legislation infobox
The U.S. legislation infobox is clearly geared towards U.S. National Congress

Instead, I'd like to merge the California infobox and New York infobox into the more dynamic state legislation infobox. This means:

States still display their own seal
None of the complicated U.S. National Congress options will muck up the template
All of the other features of each infobox can are 100% compatible and kept

The only other concern in the last merge vote was that different states can have peculiar methods. I agree, but in the time since the last vote no differences have manifested themselves in these infobox templates. --Elephanthunter (talk) 22:57, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above mentioned templates have been merged into this template. --Elephanthunter (talk) 03:32, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please document the placing of a category!

Please document that this template places a category. Please, no WP:SURPRISE. Some template editors like myself would be tempted to remove such undocumented features, especially those who prefer there categories in alphanumeric order unless there is a good reason or explanation for not doing so.

I've expanded the template's documentation so it now explicitly mentions the category. --Elephanthunter (talk) 06:34, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How bout a "repealed" parameter?

No piece of legislation will stand forever. --Palosirkka (talk) 11:20, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Colours seem weirdly chosen?

An act having been, exempli gratia, partially_struck_down suggests that it remains in effect in amended (reduced) form, and that causes the status line to be in red. This infobox uses yellow for an amended act that is in force. This seems like an inconsistency? Ellenor2000 (talk) 23:33, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed removal of image

For the same reasons as mentioned at Template talk:Infobox U.S. legislation#Proposed removal of logo. I suspect some of the states have changed their seals over time, as well, especially those that were previously territories, in which case some of them would not match the historical era of the laws being documented. -- Beland (talk) 22:36, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
