Purpose

@Swpb: What is the purpose of this template? Based on that purpose, should it include non-voting delegates? Either way, an explanation could perhaps be added for future editors/users to understand. Thanks. —GoldRingChip 16:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My original purpose was to feed Module:NPVIC status (one of the only places DC counts), but I thought it could have wider value. For almost all purposes that matter, Congress has 435 seats, and no non-voting delegates are counted. I would keep DC in the template with a value of 0 because many people assume it does have a voting representative. I've added what I think should be sufficient explanation. —swpb^{T • go beyond • bad idea} 17:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. I don't think this template has a purpose other than NPVIC. In fact, that's the only article that links to this template. Perhaps this template should be copied into the body of National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and then deleted, since it appears otherwise orphaned. —GoldRingChip 18:01, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well it wouldn't be into the article, but the module. But I'm still inclined to imagine someone else may find it useful in the future. —swpb^{T • go beyond • bad idea} 18:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
