"alma mater" vs. "educated at"[edit]

Can we change "alma mater" in the Member of Parliament infobox to "educated at"? I had to look up "alma mater" to see what it meant and I want to save other people from having to. However I've never edited infoboxes and I'm worried I'll mess them up if I do it myself. (Chorleypie (talk) 18:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC))[reply]

The {{Infobox MP is not working for candidates that run under multiple parties.

In particular MP George Galloway was Labor but is now Respect and maybe SNP. The party lable does not admit for party2 party3 ect.Geo8rge (talk)

elected vs position when elected[edit]

Nominee/Candidate[edit]

Those infoboxes should be abolished, as infoboxes should be for the political office 'only'. GoodDay (talk) 03:51, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should move this discussion to the main template talk page. --Philip Stevens (talk) 14:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Different example for congressman[edit]

Would it be possible to change the example for the Congressman template? I need to refer to it from time to time and there are many other congressmen we could use to exemplify the office other than one who is an admitted child abuser. Plandu (talk) 02:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

McCain as example for US Senator[edit]

Should we change the example for US Senator since McCain is no longer the incumbent? Or just update the example to reflect his death? Rbcshw (talk) 01:14, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
