Not working? edit

@Julio974fr: The template/module seems to have stopped working. Any idea why? Number 57 11:53, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

They disabled the Graph extension because of a security bug apparently, so we'll just have to wait (more info on Wikipedia:Help desk#Maplink template issue). I gotta say it's funny to see a bit of code breaking without it being my fault for once Julio974 (Talk-Contribs) 12:23, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

New style edit

Really not a fan of the new style – it's a pie chart, not a parliament diagram. It really doesn't fit in results tables and I would just leave them blank or have a fixed image for now. I assume there is a problem with restoring the old format? Cheers, Number 57 16:09, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is only a temporary redirection while waiting for the Graph extension to be re-enabled, since I still have no idea when it will be. I think the new template (Template:Seats diagram) will be retained for some uses, since it got good reception from editors in an unofficial discord group, and more importantly since it's supported on mobile (while the graph extension template isn't).

Why on earth is this being discussed on Discord and not on here? It's extremely exclusionary. Number 57 08:19, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Is is being discussed here, here is the talk page for it. The discord server was just a way to get quick opinions and share screenshots easily. Julio974 (Talk-Contribs) 08:48, 21 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Your link loop back here, just so you know. It still mean you only get this early feedback from the discord users instead of those here on Wiki. Anyways, not a fan of the new style either. As can be seen on 2019 Swiss federal election, it doesn't show well when there's several parties with one seat each close to each other, which happen a lot in many countries with full proportional representation (imagine if it was used on 2020–21 Nigerien general election). And it's weaker at showing thin majority of only one seat, particularly in parliament with few seats. Thanks of course for the temporary template, but I really wish it will indeed be temporary. --Aréat (talk) 13:47, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Julio974fr: and @Number 57: Another, current example being the July 1932 German federal election.--Aréat (talk) 15:03, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
