Template talk:Infobox Indian state legislative assembly constituency

2 new fields required for the Template
Two parameters should be added. When a seat is split or reformed, we do not have basic parameters to navigate to it's predecessor and successor. For Example, Chepauk (state assembly constituency) and Triplicane (state assembly constituency) were merged and reformed as Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni (State Assembly Constituency). Some reference should be there in Page Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni (State Assembly Constituency) where preceding Constituency name should be named as Chepauk (state assembly constituency) and Triplicane (state assembly constituency). In both Chepauk (state assembly constituency) and Triplicane (state assembly constituency) Pages, succeeding Page should be navigated to Chepauk-Thiruvallikeni (State Assembly Constituency). -Vijethnbharadwaj (talk) 06:49, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

This template does not work
 Resolved For reasons unknown to me. See this diff where the Template:Infobox Vidhan Sabha constituency worked like a charm and this failed. @MPGuy2824, can you please check the diff.

"Infobox Indian state legislative assembly constituency" is a mess. Template:Infobox Vidhan Sabha constituency should not be deleted until the bugs on this infobox are resolved. The Template:Infobox state assembly constituency seems to be a better choice for the final merged template, for the purpose of brevity. --Venkat TL (talk) 12:36, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * @DaxServer lets focus on the essential parameters first, to make sure they are all working. I raised this above. Not sure if these are fixed by the recent updates. Venkat TL (talk) 16:44, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The issues seem to have been fixed with the recent updates to the templates. --Venkat TL (talk) 08:54, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Most successful party
The most_successful_party seems very subjective. Do we want to drop it? — DaxServer (talk · contribs) 15:26, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm ok with dropping it. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:52, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Anybody who wants to keep this needs to speak up soon. If there is no opposition in a week, we'll close this discussion. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:32, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

2 suggested improvements

 * Puducherry is a union territory and has a legislative assembly. For those constituencies, Union Territory = Puducherry should be shown instead of State = Puducherry. -MPGuy2824 (talk)
 * @MPGuy2824 I believe it is the only one. It can have its separate infobox, instead of adding another parameter that adds to every infobox. Venkat TL (talk) 08:51, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean a new parameter, but some sort of code in the template itself, to show UT instead of State for Puducherry. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:54, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * @MPGuy2824, everything has a cost. That few lines of code will add unnecessary processing time in rendering for thousands of Indian constituency what for? for Puducherry. I still feel you can create a seperate one for Puducherry and it will be in best interest of all. Venkat TL (talk) 09:00, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * If we have the state/ut name, can't we add the parl_name in the template itself, without getting it as a parameter? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:58, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I support this suggestion. Should be possible. Venkat TL (talk) 09:01, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Hiding Current MLA section for abolished constituencies
Please see and test2 in testcases. If nobody has objections, I'll make the same changes to the template. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:48, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Merger of this Infobox with Infobox Lok Sabha Constituency

Give it a look, suggest some changes or help us with finding any errors. You can compare the differences on testcases. For now, it is just a draft version. Prarambh20 (talk) 05:15, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
