– For some states there are election footer templates (navboxes), and we need to keep these apart. E.g.: {{Massachusetts elections}}, {{Texas elections}} (which should be renamed to "Elections in XXX footer"). This proposal also brings consistency to all template names, both between these templates themselves and with regard to main articles (with the exception of the U.S. Virgin Islands name, which is abbreviated). NB: there are redirects to the current template names, which might need manual editing after the move – if it goes through. HandsomeFella (talk) 08:26, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Good idea!. —GoldRingChip 17:20, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A WP:CONSISTENT title style is always good. --Gonnym (talk) 00:10, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Consistency wouldn't hurt anyone, so sure. — Coastaline (talk) 08:07, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I threw in the footer templates I could find too, while we're at it. @GoldRingChip, Gonnym, and Coastaline: do you still support? HandsomeFella (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine by me. --Gonnym (talk) 22:11, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Still support. This is a good idea. — Coastaline (talk) 22:59, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I think you can close this and move them all. —GoldRingChip 12:54, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support ah I see you saw my confusion at this! This should be fixed, and this is a good solution! DemonDays64 (talk) 01:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Footers

I suggest format: "Foo elections footer" —GoldRingChip 02:12, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose the two should be consistent with each other. DemonDays64 (talk) 04:45, 1 October 2020 (UTC) (please ping on reply)[reply]
Oppose. That would introduce that very inconsistency that this move request is trying to mitigate. HandsomeFella (talk) 20:17, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
