2018 Lord Mayor of Melbourne by-election → 2018 Melbourne lord mayoral by-election – As agreed to on Talk:2020 Melbourne City Council election just recently, the general style of an election page name is YEAR/Place/election type (following a wide discussion a few years ago), eg 2020 Melbourne City Council election instead of 2020 City of Melbourne election.

Changing this title to 2018 Melbourne lord mayoral by-election means the place comes first.

The phrase "lord mayoral by-election" was also used pretty widely in media coverage for this by-election, including The Australian, The Age, Nine, the Herald Sun, SBS and even Sally Capp herself.

The same phrase was also used for the 2014 Newcastle lord mayoral by-election (ABC, NBN).

FWIW there's barely any results if you google "Lord Mayor of Melbourne by-election".

The similar phrase "mayoral by-election" is already used pretty widely in Wikipedia pages for elections in Australia and overseas. Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 21:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
