RE: Lancing F.C.
I am in the process of gaining more information from the club about the team and players. Shall update accordingly. I find your comment about a "non-notable" football team bizarre. Who has the right to proclaim something notable or non-notable. The club is important to the local community and quite frankly, who does it hurt to add more data to the clubs Wikipedia page?
If you aren't interested in the club, don't visit the Wikipedia page. Nothing inappropriate has been added to it and would ask you to desist from removing content which is valid to the club from it's page.

- I didn't say the club was not notable, I said the players were not notable (which they are not, according to Wikipedia guidelines). It's your view that the player list is valid content, but I don't think it is, and I would not add it to the article of the non-league club I support.
- I'm also a little worried that in your time on here you have somehow not picked up on some quite major points. Given your comment about "Who has the right to proclaim something notable or non-notable", are you actually aware that we have notability guidelines? Or that what is important to a community is irrelevant to what should be on Wikipedia, and "who does it hurt to add more data" is a classic argument to avoid (so much so that we have WP:DOESNTHURT).

Election results table
Hey there. I was supposed to ask this a couple of days ago but I've been reminded again after I was reading through the talk page of the 2021 Scottish Parliament election. Is there any chance we could get a swing vote change column on both the constituency and regional votes? I looked through the test cases for the template and found no sections dedicated for MMP systems. Hoping you can find a way to address this so that this can be used for countries like Germany.

- @Kirill.alx: It can be done, but probably has to be both or neither, otherwise it adds even more complexity.
- On a related note, when you add the swings, could you do them to the same decimal places as the percentages, otherwise I think it looks a bit odd (the Bulgarian ones you updated had 2dp for the percentages and 1dp for the swings). Number57 18:14, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- Personally, I prefer having no swings because of complexity but I do understand the concerns they have since other elections have swing changes whilst MMP ones don't. So I think it would be better to add swings for percentages for both constituency and regional, but I oppose adding a seat change column on both since that's just unnecessary in my opinion.
- That can be done. I'll update them in a bit but I just happened to copy the swings as provided on the tables and completely ignored the fact that it was only at one decimal point. Thanks for noting that! Kirill.alx ( talk) 18:40, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Kirill.alx: Nearly done (see here). Just one issue I cannot get my head around (the second round swing total character ('–') appears in all other tables, but I have asked a Lua expert for help – hopefully should be resolved soon. Cheers, Number57 15:22, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Number 57: Looks fantastic! Let me know once the issue has been resolved. Thanks very much for all the hard work! Really appreciate it man :) Kirill.alx ( talk) 16:27, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- @Kirill.alx and Erinthecute: Now complete; Erin, the election results template can now do two round/vote parliamentary elections with or without the swing parameter (see Template:Election results/testcases#Seats in each round in the testcases page or 2021_Senedd_election#Overall for an implemented version). If using the swing parameter, it will appear for both sets of votes, as the template cannot (currently) handle an imbalanced version with three columns on one side and four on the other. Cheers, Number57 19:41, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- That's excellent, it works really well. The only minor issue I can see is that swings for valid and invalid votes and turnout display in "total seats" column. Putting in separate valid/invalid swings for both votes is probably an unnecessary level of detail, so I don't really care about that. As for turnout, it's not a big deal with for example Germany where turnout for both votes is always the same, but I noticed that turnout values are different for the Senedd election, so having separate swings may be necessary there.
