Periods of service[edit]

Is there a reason why the periods only show the month of starting and ending, rather than the precise days? Same for Women in the Victorian Legislative Council. All the other articles on women in state parliaments show the days. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 22:41, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Table format change[edit]

Per the bold, revert, discuss cycle, it really should stay at the original version until it's been discussed properly, as it's been questioned.

And my main question is: why? What is the purpose of the change? The only beneficial thing I see is the count (which is wildly inaccurate at the moment - there need to be a lot of tied numbers), and that could easily be incorporated into the old table. I don't think this table needs to be (or should be) sortable either. Frickeg (talk) 12:25, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted for the reasons Frickeg mentions here - and my thoughts are the same. The Drover's Wife (talk) 14:09, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I redid the table format to make it a sort table. This enables the user to sort by date. Also, I did not have time to set up a duration column properly which would have enabled a sort by period in the house. Oh well. Enthusiast (talk) 19:34, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The table is ... already sorted by date? I'm a bit confused by that. Frickeg (talk) 23:20, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The sortable lets the sort to be by name, by date, by date of end of term, and by duration. Check it out in a previous version. Enthusiast (talk) 05:10, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It, uh, doesn't do that in practice if you check your own work. Not that sorting by date of election or end of term end adds anything to what is there now. The Drover's Wife (talk) 07:06, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Do with it what you wish. I'm done. Enthusiast (talk) 07:11, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
