2019 Canadian federal election

hey MikkelJSmith,

I noticed this good faith edit by an IP user removing the reference to Elizabeth May's Green Party. But, at the time of the election, she led the party. What's the WP:MOS say on this? Do we maintain the literary present, or should we remove that reference for some other provision in the manual? Thought I'd ask you as you've edited frequently in this area. :)

Cheers,

I'm still not as familiar with some of the policies on Wilipedia as I would like, but I reverted the edit since she was leader at the time. - MikkelJSmith (talk) 00:51, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MikkelJSmith, Yeah, me neither. The policies are extensive. I'll post a courtesy message on the IP user's talk page stating as much. Doug Mehus (talk) 01:27, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

empty policied

https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=2019_Canadian_federal_election&oldid=prev&diff=925212445 if you want to re-add the empty table, I won't revert for now, but it would be better to create it in a workspace and invite others to help work on it there rather than leave it in any state with any empty cells. There's no benefit to the reader, and it's unnecessarily large and difficult to navigate. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:02, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I talked with another editor on the page and he said it would be easier to have it on the page so that we can work on it. - MikkelJSmith (talk) 16:16, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with, and support, you both working on it as-is. Wikipedia has no deadlines. If there's an applicable "under revision" template you can transclude atop that section, that'd be ideal. --Doug Mehus (talk) 17:17, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there's a template for an unfinished section/section under revision. Do you Ahunt? - MikkelJSmith (talk) 21:58, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MikkelJSmith, Discospinster moved your table to Walter Görlitz's userspace, if you're looking for it. Have a look on User:Discospinster's talk page for the direct link. I've recommended he move it to your userspace. Feel free to chime in seconding that motion. Doug Mehus T·C 16:16, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MikkelJSmith, Alternatively, have you thought of developing it in the Template: namespace? That way, it could be transcluded onto multiple pages, or just one page. Doug Mehus T·C 16:18, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I left a message on the user's talk page and as for your second concern, I haven't heard of that template before. Could you elaborate? - MikkelJSmith (talk) 17:24, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MikkelJSmith, Oh, I was just thinking you could create your table in the "template" namespace whereby you go to https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Template:Name of 2019 Canadian federal election table you are working on where "Name of 2019 Canadian federal election table you are working on" is the name of the table you want to work on. Then, you can transclude (include) that table on any article by enclosing the template's name in curly braces. Doug Mehus T·C 18:10, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's been moved again. Now it's at User:MikkelJSmith/2019 Canadian federal election/Policies sandbox Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:54, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
