Regardless of the fact that Party for People with Special Needs is a red link, it should be included on this template. The party is recognized by Elections Ontario; exclusion of the party from this template indirectly implies that they are not. Inclusion of the party will provide a quick reference to current registered parties, and will be an easy comparison how parties fared after the 2007 election.
To the comment that "Usually red-links don't belong in templates", please indicate where on Wikipedia:Template FAQ or Help:Template that removal of red links is recommended. Furthermore, please refer to User:Electionworld/Parties - many political party templates do have red links. I have reverted the edits by User:GreenJoe, and to prevent an edit war, I would ask that the edits would not be re-reverted until this discussion has ended.

Electionworld is a user, it's not policy, or even a guideline. Red links don't belong in the template until the article is created. End of story.

They're not all notable.

How so? They've all been elected to the OnLA (or in the case of 'Pre-confederation parties', were important Upper Canada reformers) and are therefore notable.
