Template talk:Gallagher index

Votes & Seats

How about that this template can also calculate the percentages out of the seats and votes?

Template:Election results can this too Braganza (talk) 18:08, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How are you envisaging using this template? Cheers, Number 5 7 16:46, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{Election results}}


Party		Votes	%	Seats
	Monegasque National Union	72,602	89.63	24
	New Ideas for Monaco	8,401	10.37	0
Total		81,003	100.00	24

How its currently done

Gallagher Index for the 2023 Monegasque general election
Party		Votes (%)	Seats (%)	Difference	Difference squared
	Monegasque National Union	89.63%	100.00%	10.37	107.5369
	New Ideas for Monaco	10.37%	0.00%	-10.37	107.5369
Total of differences squared					215.0738
Total / 2					107.5369
Square root of (Total / 2): Gallagher Index result					10.37
^{The Gallagher Index ranges from 0 to 100. Low indexes (close to 0) are very proportionate, high indexes (20 or greater) are very disproportionate.}

How I imagine it

Gallagher Index for the {{{election}}}
Party		Votes (%)	Seats (%)	Difference	Difference squared
	Monegasque National Union	72,602.00%	24.00%	-72578	5267566084
	New Ideas for Monaco	8,401.00%	0.00%	-8401	70576801
Total of differences squared					5338142885
Total / 2					2669071442.5
Square root of (Total / 2): Gallagher Index result					51663.06
^{The Gallagher Index ranges from 0 to 100. Low indexes (close to 0) are very proportionate, high indexes (20 or greater) are very disproportionate.}

Maybe with an option were you can decide if you want to use percentages as before or votes like in Election results (like "|type="). Also the "|election=" could remain but should be optional.
