• To User:UU: This template is talking about the political parties in Hong Kong and they are not parties at all. Please stop vandalizing the template before any consensus is made. Lmmnhn (talk) 11:26, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• • Did you see the article List of political parties in Hong Kong???

Hong Kong has no legislation for political parties, and thus has no legal definition for what a political party is. Most political parties and political groups registered either as limited companies or societies.UU (talk) 11:30, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You both violated the three revert rule here and are about to do so on Template:Umbrella Movement so I suggest you two back off. _dk (talk) 11:43, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's been some dispute about how to arrange the political parties into factions. I don't think now is the right time to have that fight - when the new seating plan "blocs" are made public at the start of the legislative session (12 October 10am HKT) it will be clear. I've fully protected this template until then. Deryck C. 13:33, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Localism camp for discussion, as User:Lmmnhn has very strong intention to "mislead readers" that "Localism camp" does not exist? (Actually he knew there is "Localist camp" or "Localist groups", but he did not move the "Localism camp" to one of those alternative names...) Thank you.

Wow that's a messy AfD. Deryck C. 16:53, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Back to the topic of this template, we should also consider "Pro-establishment" and "Opposition" as the boundary between the pan-democratic camp and the localist camp is fluid. [1] But we'll see how the seating plan works out. Deryck C. 16:53, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Lmmnhn: perhaps you could make the required changes to Template:Hong Kong political parties/sandbox so that I don't make a mistake? Please reactivate when done. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:16, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Lmmnhn (talk) 18:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've reduced the template to semi-protection because the LegCo seating plan has been announced. Deryck C. 11:05, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think this template needs a new heading to categorise parties which are not represented (for whatever reason) in either the legislative or district councils. Kdm852 (talk) 07:05, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
