RE: Wisconsin elections sidebar

Hi! Since we've each been doing edits on Wisconsin elections lately, including the sidebar, I wanted to reach out to you to see what you thought about an idea that I had for keeping things consolidated. I'm working on some additional county executive elections and I don't want to clutter up the sidebar. I like how you consolidated the mayoral and county executive elections in Green Bay, Madison, and Milwaukee, and wanted to take that idea a little bit further. I wanted to see what you thought about the following:

Retitling "Brown County" as "Green Bay" and "Dane County" as "Madison," because it seems as though a user is likelier to know what the cities are than the counties

Having Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, and Milwaukee as main entries, and then "Other localities" for the other counties, as the Template:Elections in Florida sidebar has had for a little while.

Thoughts? Thanks! PA Uploader (talk) 21:27, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I appreciate the effort you have been putting in for these, I think keeping the county labels is fine and nesting local elections within each respective county is fine because otherwise it clutters up the infobox too much and creates a monstrosity like Template:Elections in California sidebar. I would also recommend maybe limiting what localities or counties you make elections for to only the top 5 or 10 biggest in the state. @PA Uploader. Talthiel (talk) 17:06, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
