Elections BC sets the standard for electoral district information.
Add the following:
The documentation's good. I made a couple of minor adjustments; you referred to the federal level of government a couple of times in provincial tags. I'd also like to mention that according to the test page, the current version is visibly displaying an extraneous {{ #if: active | under the map and in the federal status field. I realize this is probably a temporary artifact related to my suggestion that certain fields should be hidden if the status is flagged as defunct, but I thought I should mention it anyway just in case. Bearcat 20:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
It appears that it may not work for Nunavut and the NWT. Neither of them have political parties and use Consensus government which messes up the incumbent section. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:15, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
I've clearly mis-read the documentation for parser functions. Things that need to be fixed:
For some reason, #ifexpr: is not behaving as I expected it to, and #if lets everything through so long as it it not an empty string (in particular, expressions that evaluate to 0 are true). I'm missing the obvious. Mind matrix 05:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
There are four extraneous <br /> tags in the rendered page, causing a gap immediately after the image; it seems they were introduced in this edit, which added four error-checking expressions. Removing newlines between if blocks has eliminated two of those (see this), but a clear (and annoying) gap remains. Mind matrix 15:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
THere seems to be this weird thing going on whereby you can't put in "New Democratic Party", but only "NDP", which is automatically linked to NDP, which is a disambiguation page. Is there a way of fixing this so that the correct article name is linked so that the reader isn't taken to the wrong place? Ground Zero | t 23:58, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmm is there a way to fix the image in articles that try to use a map? All of the Calgary ridings have a screwed up image because of this (see here for example). TastyCakes ( talk) 17:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Articles about electoral constituencies in Canada get tagged with {{ Coord missing}} templates. A discussion was held recently at the Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board about how to add coordinates; one commenter included a link to a prior discussion at the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. One suggested method of adding coordinates to such articles resulted: using the {{ Coord}} template with appropriate "dim" parameter value, using the coordinates of a constituency office, and adding a comment in the article code indicating the coordinates were from such a constituency office. Including a coordinates field in the Infobox and using the Coord template with parameters "display=inline,title" would be a neater solution: I would like to propose that such a field be added. A subsidiary additional field might be "coordinates_comment" where one could indicate the location the coordinates identified, e.g. "Location of constituency office in Town A." The comment could be coded to place it in the Infobox in smaller font size immediately beneath the coordinates displayed. The comment would make it clearer for readers as to what coordinates they were being shown. Some districts have more than one constituency office; I've simply selected one of them in the cases I've come across. There is no special magic to using constituency offices — one could select a central point within the district as an alternative with an appropriate comment "Central point in the electoral district" — but it is at least an identifiable place that editors could find if they wanted to add coordinates to an article. One should acknowledge that there is small added update burden to adding coordinates, whatever the location for coordinates chosen, as district boundaries and constituency office locations can change. -- papageno ( talk) 16:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
I've made some changes to tidy this template's code en route to bringing it in line with the {{ infobox}} defaults. Test cases can be seen here. An anon reverted saying that the new version was broken in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, but I can't verify that. Can anyone else have a look? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 17:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Would any recent editor here be willing to help implement the coordinates parameters (coordinates, coordinates_caption and coordinates_date) correctly? I tried many tweaks and couldn't get them to work correctly. I guess the correct implementation was beyond my skill with template coding. The parameters are commented out for now. -- papageno ( talk) 19:35, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm currently going through the code's sillier idiosyncracies (such as totally OTT error checking which makes parts of it completely unreadable); I'll deploy the result when I'm done. The only change to the visible output is the way that party colours are represented, which is unavoidable at this point (the colour is currently implemented by reserving an entire table column for the sake of one or two cells, a gross hack which will require changing a great deal of supporting templates to fully remove).

When the last election was a by-election, the infobox points you to a non-existent election. For instance, Vancouver-Point Grey points to the about to be deleted redirect British Columbia general election, 2011. For federal elections, a by-election year seems to make the infobox display unlinked text (See Calgary Centre). Is there a way to make the provincial districts behave like the federal ones? - Rrius ( talk) 03:18, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to allow this to use
Template:Canadian party colour as an option for provincial party colours. What do you think would be the best way to do that? Should I just add |prov-color=
and allow people to enter the full template there, with colour defaulting to the system in place now when that parameter doesn't exist or does anyone have an idea about how to make that work with the parameters that are already there? —

I'm looking at Kitchener—Conestoga (provincial electoral district), where Michael Harris is the MPP - not the former premier nor any other person by that name. When I found it, there was an effort to disambiguate the name in the infobox by means of a prov-rep-link parameter, but it's not working. I tried a couple of ways of disambiguating, but haven't found a solution. Can somebody please advise? Thanks, PK T(alk) 13:46, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
I noticed on Cariboo District the obtrusiveness of the BC flag, and the way the caption is staggered with "electoral district" on a different half-line than comes before. Per the Flag Icon usage standards, when has including the provincial flag on this infobox become de rigeur and why? Seems cumbersome and the flag, if anything, should be the federal one...if present at all. I was going to remove the flag but it seems built into the coding of the infobox's "Province" field as automatic. Note Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Icons#Avoid_flag_icons_in_infoboxes which says 'flags in infoboxes should be avoided. Skookum1 ( talk) 07:55, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello - I tried clicking on the map link in the infobox for Brampton—Springdale this morning, but was sent to the map for Beaches—East York - that is, the URL http://www.elections.ca/res/cir/maps2/mapprov.asp?map=35007 . The Brampton—Springdale riding is defunct, and its Federal District number (35007) is the same as Beaches—East York. There is a map of Brampton—Springdale that's being kept for historical purposes by Elections Canada, which is available at http://www.elections.ca/res/cir/maps/mapprov.asp?map=35007&lang=e . I don't see how the map link in the infobox could be adjusted to point to the correct link. Would somebody please have a look at this? Thanks!... PK T(alk) 13:40, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
I'm afraid I find this infobox confusing because it does not say right at the top if the riding is a federal or a provincial riding. Since it starts with the flag and province, I thought at first it was always referring to provincial ridings, but then I realized it could also be referring to a federal riding in that province. Could the first entry in the box be changed to give a choice between "Federal electoral district" or "Provincial electoral district", and if federal, put the maple leaf flag in? (if it's a federal riding, still important to say what province it is in, but the key thing is to make it clear that it's referring to a federal riding.) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 17:11, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
I'd be interested in seeing the following changes.
1. Remove the flag. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Icons#Avoid flag icons in infoboxes says "Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many." It does go on to say "Human geographic articles – for example settlements and administrative subdivisions – may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes." but in the original may is in italics and is not required. It does not add to the readers information in any way.
2. Get rid on the line wrap caused by the "Legislature" line. See Edmonton Strathcona and Tununiq for examples.
3. If the riding is held by an independent member then there is a link to Independent politician#Canada and to the left of the name is a grey bar. See Nunavut (electoral district). However, if the riding is in Nunavut or the Northwest Territories there are no political parties and form consensus governments. The box appears to have no coloured bar (it may be white), which makes the incumbents name look as if it is pushed to the right, and there is no link to Consensus government in Canada. See Tununiq again. There are multiple shades of grey available to be used that there would be a difference between consensus and independent.
I would have done some of this but the template is above my skill level. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 17:36, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
I'm working on creating separate articles for each of the electoral districts of the Province of Canada, and I think we need to make two changes to the template to accommodate the particular features of those districts.
Thoughts? Comments? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 03:19, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
Since I posted this inquiry, I got in touch with one of the template gurus, Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions, who very kindly took a crack at the issue of an option for electoral divisions for the Legislative Council. The draft Dreamy Jazz produced in the template sandbox has a new parameter, for "division". If you leave that field blank, you get the "electoral district for the Legislative Assembly" infobox. But if you answer that parameter with "yes", you get this result:
Province of Canada electoral division | |
---|---|
Defunct pre-Confederation electoral division | |
Legislature | Legislative Council of the Province of Canada |
Division created | date |
Division abolished | date |
First contested | date |
Last contested | date |
The reason for using "division" as the new parameter is that was the term used at the time to distinguish between the Legislative Assembly ridings and the Legislative Council divisions. We still see it today in the reference to the Quebec Senate seats, which are allocated according to the pre-Confederation "electoral divisions" for the old Legislative Council:
Constitution Act, 1867, s. 22.
Are people okay with making this change to the template?

Bold edit: I'm trying to wind up the excessive use of "census language" around Canadian community articles. Statistics Canada provides some great data products, but I think the general public will always be confused by the phrases "census division" and "census subdivision", which have no colloquial usage at best. At worst, census divisions are actively irrelevant (there are multiple provinces and territories where they don't line up with administrative boundaries).
So, I'm renaming "Census divisions" to "Region" and "Census subdivisions" to "Communities". These should make more sense to laypeople, and allow a wider range of possibilities (for instance Mushkegowuk—James Bay's position in Northern Ontario is probably more relevant than it straddling the Kenora and Cochrane Districts). Old infoboxes won't break, but in the future, "region" and "communities" will be valid parameters that work for the same purpose. Awmcphee ( talk) 17:01, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
