Is there any reason why this template is using the U.S. postal abbreviations instead of the full names of the states? Is it to save place, because it is a template?

I was thinking that the state and territorial governments should be listed sepately instead of together in alphabetical order. Unless there are objections I'll make the change. -- BOARshevik 06:54, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
I know his title isn't "governor", but doesn't the Mayor of Washington DC belong on this template and perhaps other Governor lists? We list other US territories' governors, and DC mayor is functionally equivalent to them. -- Jfruh 18:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
I've created a modified version of this template that does not use the postal codes, which can be confusing, especially for non-US residents. See User:Rholton/USGovernors (note that I've removed the categories from that page). Should we adopt this format? I also welcome suggestions, or improvements to the page. – RHolton ≡– 03:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Should we have some sort of political party coding (red for Republicans, blue for Democrats, etc.) to denote which Governor is from what political party?

I did it simply because I'm sure that most people don't know the political parties of the Northern Mariana Islands and the abbreviation "C" could be confused with other minor US political parties. Any objections? Hiyayaywhopee 03:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
The title was accurate (USGovernors) and easy to remember and use. Why was it moved? Unlike articles, template names don't have to be long and precise, rather they should be easy to remember and use and accurate. The old name was both. I recommend it be moved back to the old name. -- Philosopher Let us reason together. 15:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
"DC" in the template is currently a redlink to the nonexistant "Governor of Washington D.C." page. The wikicode that makes all the state abbreviations into links to Governor pages is beyond my ken; can someone fix this so that it points to List of mayors of Washington, D.C.? -- Jfruh ( talk) 18:24, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Not sure how to do this, but the DC Mayor definitely doesn't belong in the Governors group- DC is much more like a territory (especially from a constitutional perspective), and the DC Mayor probably has less power than most territorial governors. Gabrielthursday ( talk) 08:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
