merger[edit]

do we really need so many different list of prime ministers articles?

shouldn't we merge those others into sub sections of this page? Irtapil (talk) 13:31, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit baffled by what i am supposed to do though Wikipedia:Merging. Irtapil (talk) 14:29, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A logical idea and thank you, but I fear that this page would become unmanageably bulky. Errantius (talk) 04:52, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this would be unworkably large. The Drover's Wife (talk) 07:13, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline graphic shows PaulKeating as Liberal.[edit]

He was Labor. Pretty important to get this stuff right I would suggest. 2001:8003:D4E6:2100:C47B:F33:767C:F50C (talk) 01:42, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He's already shown as Labor, just search for his wikitext under the #Timeline section. —twotwofourtysix^{(My talk page and contributions)} 02:01, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Term length[edit]

"Prime ministers do not have fixed terms, and generally serve the full length of their term ..." is fairly perplexing to a lay read. Could this be clarified? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 03:45, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
