I totally disagree with all these changes. Here's why : 1. You simply have no idea how long it was for me to create the whole page as it was before you decided to delete everything I made... 2. The grids that I used are the ones used on the English version of Wikipedia for all municipal elections in Montreal, provincial elections across Canada and federal ones. Yours are a kind of copy/paste from the French version of Wikipedia - which is a major different way to do. 3. On of my concerns with your templates is that now, political parties names are repeated so many times for nothing (compared to the grids always used on English Wikipedia). For example, now in Borough Races section, we have Projet Montréal written 103 times instead of 19... 4. You decided to put so many place to Mouvement Montréal. However, this party is not registered yet. Even though it was publicly announced by Balarama Holness, as of this morning, his party is still on the reserved names list and has not been authorized yet by Elections Quebec. 5. Knowing that, why did you put this ' party ' specifically and not the other ones who will present a mayoral candidate and also said that they want to have 103 candidates (Ralliement pour Montréal, Équité Montréal, etc.)? I totally disagree with this way to place in front at this point a non-existent party who never presented candidates in the past, and not to do so with other parties who are at least registered. I've been working on elections results pages accross Canada for many years now - and usually, we wait to see where the parties will have candidates for real at the end of the day. For example, Mélanie Joly and her party have never been able to present 103 candidates, even if she said that was her goal. 6. Coming back to my point #1, if you really want to erase all my work, please make sure to AT LEAST keep the information in it. For example, without any reason, you removed candidates in Ville-Marie and VSMPE. Most of all, you wrote that Robert Zambito is the incumbet city councillor for Saint-Léonard-Est?!? This man is no longer councillor since 2013... He even needed to withdraw his candidacy in 2013 election : 7. You way of showing templates may have the ' advantage ' to provide a shorter table of contents. However, it is now impossible to select from there a specific borough to access directly to one. With 19 boroughs, I consider this is a major inconvenient. Thank you for taking the time to read all of my reasons, to consider them and at least to fix the major problems and fake informations.
