Alt

Would it be possible to add some kind of alt to describe the images in the table?
And would it be possible to change to placeholder image to something better? Maybe File:No portrait.svg? Skjoldbro (talk) 10:55, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Or the option to add a caption to the image would be useful and cover some of the alt image issues. GraemeLeggett (talk) 11:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Election

I think it would make more sense to have the election column placed before the start office one. What do you think?--Aréat (talk) 00:38, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Piping

There needs to be a way to allow alternative names to be shown for a party to the link being used – for example when a party has been renamed. See this list and in particular the Dor (political party) line – Dor was named Gil at the time those officeholders were in office, so needs piping, but there appears no way to do that at present.

Why is 'acting' coloured differently?

This seems to run counter to the Manual of Style by introducing a coloured element intended to convey something without explaining it. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:27, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can't rowspan

I want to do rowspan on multiple ministers in same cabinet, but looks like the parameter doesn't exist. Is there an alternative way/template? EdhyRa (talk) 00:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
