Hi, I know that you suggested the changes to Template:Infobox election to add parameters for "First" and "final" round where applicable, is there a way to add one for a runoff, or a way to change the display title for the final round parameter? Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:24, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoblyblob Not at present, but that is something I did consider when making it as "rounds" imply different stages of voting whereas runoff implies an IRV system. I could make the change but as I'm not a template editor it would take some time for that to be implemented DimensionalFusion · she/her) 11:50, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is not too much of a struggle right now to just use data templates, the thought had just crossed my mind. Thanks for the response! Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 14:30, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again @Yoblyblob, just to let you know I have now added a way of labelling the final round parameter, final_round_label DimensionalFusion · she/her) 16:20, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! This is great Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 16:22, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to revert you, but that is a seriously confusing parameter. I don't think many readers are going to understand that it links to the next election with the same set of seats elected (it took me a while to realise what it was despite knowing it was a partial election). As far as I can see, the parameter was added to the infobox without discussion fairly recently - probably worth having one to see whether there is support for it, and if so, how it can be better explained what the two links are to. Cheers, Number 57 00:06, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Number 57, these next seat elections are used for other such partial elections, such as 2026 United States Senate elections, 2022, 2020, 2018, 2016 where it seems to be used just fine. I wouldn’t know about the parameter being added recently, I just found it and thought it fit. As far as I can tell, it’s been extant since at least April 2025. I think a discussion to clarify would be helpful, however DimensionalFusion · she/her) 00:19, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, I see they are exclusively used on US elections, hence me missing it being introduced. I've started a discussion at the infobox talk page anyway. Cheers, Number 57 00:30, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:DimensionalFusion_reported_by_User:Orca. Thank you. Orca (talk) 01:06, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Thanks for your contributions to 2025 Northampton Town Council election. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 09:57, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
