I believe this article that I created to be of high quality and I would like to nominate it for FL. It is quite simple, but I believe it explains the topic well inline with contemporary lists. TheBritinator (talk) 16:11, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • No list should start with "This is a list of". It might be better if the current second paragraph is moved to the top.
  • "Elections in Liechtenstein have been held since the ratification of the 1862 constitution in with the Landtag was of Liechtenstein was established for the first time." Needs grammar fixes to be intelligible.
  • I don't understand the color system in the table. Why does the color of the winning party bleed on to the date cell of the next election too?
  • You can consider using the Template:Party name with color template for the political party cell in the table. The other columns don't need the color.
  • Is the monarch column very relevant to this table? Same for the date column.
  • Only slightly relevant to this FLC, but please create a stub atleast for Karl Freiherr Haus von Hausen.
  • Is the phrase "(during term)" in the PM column necessary?
  • The notes for the graph should be in its caption.
  • "First election to use 25 Landtag seats instead of 15." to "First election to have 25 Landtag seats instead of 15."
  • Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)
    • Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
    • Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with row scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Column scopes can be added by adding !scope=col to each header cell, e.g. !rowspan=2|Season becomes !scope=col rowspan=2|Season. If the cell spans multiple columns with a colspan, then use !scope=colgroup instead.
    • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear.
  • The last three are PresN's standard comments. That's all I have for now. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 01:50, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright I believe I have (at least started to) addressed this issue pointed out. As you have pointed out with the monarch and date it may not be necessary, though I would be a proponent of keeping the date(s) as I believe it's better structures the table given that some elections have taken place in the same year. That being said, I have replaced the monarch column with a reference one instead as recommended by @RunningTiger123, these are the sources from the main election article.

    Still need colscopes. --PresN 16:13, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Take another look. TheBritinator (talk) 19:01, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • The elections in the same years are disambiguated by month names in the election column already.
    • I still don't understand the color system in the table. Why does the color of the winning party bleed on to the date cell of the next election too?
    • Please see my earlier comment about using Party name with color. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Design choice by myself. The idea is to show the ruling party at the time of the election. Could be removed, though. TheBritinator (talk) 21:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @MPGuy2824 I wanted to use party name with color, but I'm not entirely sure how it works nor if it really fits with the design choice I have made with the table. I would swap it if I could. TheBritinator (talk) 13:37, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • The color of the previous winning party bleeding into the next election's row was quite confusing. It's good that you removed it.
      • If you want to see the template that I suggested in action look at Sangha Assembly constituency#Members of the Legislative Assembly. With the colors that you are stuck with, MOS:CONTRAST is an issue (as pointed out below by RunningTiger123).
      • Additionally, consider centering the references column to see if you like the look better. Not a showstopper though. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 15:47, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        Centred. I have taken another look and I'm still unsure about the template, when I try to use it it appears to bleed the colour and party name as a new column, not sure how I am supposed to produce the result on the article you referenced.

Comments by RunningTiger123
  • Agree with all of the above comments
  • "elections for the members of the Landtag of Liechtenstein and Prime Minister of Liechtenstein" – but the PM isn't directly elected, right? The elections only select the Landtag representatives; those representatives then elect the PM.
    • Same idea for "Elected prime minister (during term)" in column header – just say "Prime minister"
  • No need for empty lines in the "Political parties" section (just leads to unnecessary gaps)
  • Don't add bold text in markup for table headers (MediaWiki adds bold text automatically)
  • Images need alt text
  • I'm having a hard time checking because the colors include an alpha value, but I don't think the background cell colors meet MOS:COLOR. There must be a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between the text and background colors.
  • "30 September 1914 – 2 October 1914" – no need to state year twice
  • Perhaps the most critical part – what's your source for any of the election results???
