Template talk:NJ Essex County Commissioners
 | This template was considered for deletion on 22 November 2022. The result of the discussion was "no consensus". |
Regarding the above debate over deleting the New Jersey county and legislative district templates: These were existing templates. My goal was to change "Freeholder" to "Commissioner" to comply with the change in title under New Jersey law. I agree with the comment by Joseph2302 that using WP:SELECTIVETRANSCLUSION appears to be the supported mechanism. As the author of that comment suspected, I was not able to transition to the supported mechanism. If I recall (and as mentioned in another comment in the discussion), the obstacle was related to trying to insert text inline without generating unwanted whitespace. When the template implementation is used instead of selective tranclusion, the pages that reference the template can list Commissioners in free-flowing text, which improves the flow of the referring page. Having seen that inline style used on multiple referring pages, I decided to continue using templates rather than transclusion. Bruce Esrig (talk) 03:42, 1 December 2022 (UTC), contribs

The following pages have already been updated. Note that the listed pages may need other changes since the Federal and State information may not have been updated.
