Talk:2018 Leeds City Council election

Percentage vote share
Thanks to the people who did the hard work on this page! I'm just trying to understand how the vote share has been calculated here:

The total number of votes cast here is 12268. The total number of votes cast for Labour is 6922. That's a lot more than 47.4%: it's 56.4%. Is there a miscalculation here, or am I misunderstanding the method of calculation? Thanks! Alarichall (talk) 21:15, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * looks like you did the calculations here? Alarichall (talk) 21:21, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, I get it now: you've counted only the top scorers for each party. I'll add a note to this effect. Is this a standard methodology for elections like this? It seems a bit odd to me. Alarichall (talk) 06:35, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It is odd but trying to continue same format as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_City_Council_election,_2004. User:LeedsOwl (talk) 16:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Turnout vs electorate
It appears that in each table (though I've only checked two so far) the figure given as 'turnout' is actually the size of the electorate. I'll fix it when i get a moment, if nobody else does first, but I thought I'd mention it here in the meantime! Alarichall (talk) 21:31, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, I now see it's a problem with the template. Presumably it's a standardised format? Does anyone know how one goes about making a template clearer? Alarichall (talk) 22:09, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
