Template talk:Legislatures of the Americas

I designed a new template that does not rely upon {{Americas topic}}, but is based upon that template. This allows the use of the exact name of the legislative body as a piped link rather than using a redirect to the exact name. One benefit is that the country names will be blackened and bold on their respective article pages. This does not happen if a redirect is used. The countries that do not yet have articles written about their legislative bodies are redlinked in the master template on the Documentation page. These are commented out within the "live" template. Another option would be to leave them redlinked in the live template. I am pretty much neutral on this, however my own slight preference is to leave the redlinks out of the live template. If anyone prefers to keep the redlinks in the live template, that's okay with me, too. – PIE ( CLIMAX )  07:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This one is finished. I went to every link, made some improvements, and ensured that this navbox is in each article. Feel free to improve as needed. – PIE ( CLIMAX )  23:07, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, legislative bodies were found for all the redlinks and linked. – PIE ( CLIMAX )  22:17, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Auto correct muddled my verbiage. I've added a leading ":" just before each legislature's name in the template so that each other's legislatures doesn't show up as each-other's "what links here" which isn't useful. This shift should allow ease to update/cleanup within each country's separate overall 'politics' series following elections and so on. Now theoretically if you are on that page's legislature and click "what links here" most of that own country's politics retaliated results should show up alone. Not the legislature half way around the world which is completely unrelated and has no bearing whatsoever on that page truthfully. CaribDigita (talk) 21:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
