Making election results more easily editable/comprehensible
Stuff like this is not only extremely hard for a fellow human being to read, but it's also terribly hard to edit in case there are any errors or one wants to change other stuff within. The Keep it short and simple principle is a good one to follow. The mere presence of line breaks greatly improves readability. I'd suggest trying to format other results tables a bit more like how it's now; good examples also include the very similar tables for the STV elections in Northern Ireland, ex. here.

 * Oh, and two more little things (sorry for being annoying): 1) candidates should be ordered in the same fashion as in the NI tables, i.e. those elected first on top; and those excluded first at the bottom. This not only makes the tables less ugly (by not having random gaps in the middle of them) but actually also puts the more important information (which candidates were elected) first, so two for the price of one... 2) unless it materially affects the results, the decimal places should be rounded off (as they usually only bring more clutter and also make the tables much wider, which might cause issues for readers accessing this through smaller devices like mobile phones), and ideally to a consistent amount of decimal digits throughout RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 22:02, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
