So what names are in contention? Berlusconi favours Mario Draghi (but he is unlikely to stand). Monti wants Emma Bonino (but does Monti's endorsement help her or hinder her?). Grillo says Dario Fo. Who does Bersani favour? 86.153.135.48 (talk) 20:48, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2nd candidate[edit]

@Saxones288: Where was "this long-standing consensus" reached? I only saw an anonymous ip that a few months ago entered the second most voted candidate in the infobox. Besides, not even on all pages. If you want the second candidate in the infoboxes, please standardize all the pages, otherwise I will have to restore the previous situation.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 20:47, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is not true. If you look at the edit history for this election, Stefano Rodotà is listed in the infobox of versions dated back to 20 April 2013. Also, all pages are standardized, it was you who editted them all to remove the second candidate. The only times when the second candidate was not listed, was when there were more "Blank Ballots" cast than the number of votes received by the runner-up, according to long-standing consensus.

@Saxones288: But where was the consensus reached on the exclusion of the second candidate if passed by the blank ballots? --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:03, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned that some elections did not have the runner-up, and that we should standardize all the pages. I was saying that they were standardized: the pages with no runner-ups are those where the runner-up was surpassed by blank ballots. This is the long-standing consensus.

Furthermore I saw that Nordio was again removed from the infobox of 2022 election, even though he passed the blank ballots.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:06, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
