As seen on mytalk page, I removed gubernatorial races from this template, as they belong in their own existing template and clutter this one, but the template creator is quite unwilling to engage in productive discussion.--Muboshgu (talk)22:52, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Forget it, Muboshgu. This was one of my working tools. I will create another one. No reverts, I will replace everything again and again. Keep off my back, I'm not a teenager blogger with speculative articles on future events. I do historical research. And I need a nav box for it.Kraxler (talk)20:40, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have no interest in getting caught in the middle of this ill-tempered war and I don't want to seem condescending, but perhaps starting a personal sandbox page named something likeUser:Kraxler/NY Elections template would allow you to work in peace.
Shakescene, I need that template on the article pages, to go forward snd backward in a click while creating new articles in the sandbox, if it was hidden somewhere it would take a few clicks and the whole thing gets confused and costs time. Besides, I will move all "gubernatorial election" articles to "state election" as I progress through the years, and although the old title remains a redirect, I'll fix the links, so that the years appear in bold type in the template on the related article page.
I will fix this template again on Monday and please look at Muboshgu's user page for my ultimate position on this. I'm covered by the wiki guidelines (WP:POINT), any administrator will decide in my favor in this case. Imagine, I just write articles and get attacked by a tagger and threatened with edit-war over an otherwise absolutely unimportant template if I don't submit to some high-jacker's point of view. What has that Muboshgu guy to do with my state election articles anyway? I have edited in Wikipedia for years, have never been involved in an edit war before, have never disrupted anybody's work, have made a few suggestions and sometimes abandoned them, if other users' arguments were consistently enough against them, and have occasionally apologized for being rash. But do I have to take this much bullying from a guy who has ANBSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with my work? I don't think so.
After settling this dispute, we will fix also the ElectionsNY template somehow, I'm sure we arrive at some sensible solution, Shakescene.Kraxler (talk)22:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing major wrong with the ElectionsNY template. If you have tweaks to suggest, that's fine, but it is essentially fine. --Muboshgu (talk)16:03, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do we really need to include the winners of every New York Senate election in the template? I don't think so, since it sort of spoils the fun of reading the actual articles for those interested to see who won, and it gets very monotonous anyway...69.121.17.200 (talk)22:54, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but not because it spoils the fun, but because navigational boxes are for navigation, and not coatracks for more content.Frietjes (talk)23:03, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just making another request. Unfortunately, the edit above was malformed. The2018 election is now listed after the2016 election (a class 3 election). However, 2018 is a class-1 election and should be listed after the2012 election instead. The text
* ''[[United States Senate election in New York, 2018|2018]]''
should be moved to below the line
* [[United States Senate election in New York, 2012|2012]]
