Main info box selection.

I saw the slight misunderstanding when it came to the info box a couple of updates ago, to resolve future disputes I think we should probably set a way to do those info boxes in any Australian state's local election page. Qualifying for the info box could be crossing either: 5 seats state-wide or obtaining over 1.5% of the total vote. There also should be the blanket rule that, if the party does not have a Wiki page dedicated to it, it does not qualify. These rules would, in the example of the 2021 local elections qualify the somewhat meaningful local party of Our Local Community (OLC), but remove the lone seat won by the Small Business Party from the main info box. Just having 'Be registered for state elections' be a guideline might exclude parties that have some minor or major relevance on the local scale, like OLC. Anyway, I'm fine to go with whatever Totallynotarandomalt69 has to say, because they seem to be the main force in actually creating these pages. Moreton Fraser (talk) 01:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
