I removed the years because it is linked in the Elections section. What happens when there are more elections? We have seperate links for every single one of them? The template is supposed to be a link to the over-arching subjects of South African politics. Look at Template:Politics of New Zealand and Template:Politics of Australia for references.

Since I created this template I think i can say what this template is supposed to be. It is more then you suggest, but offers also the possibility when you visit an individual election to jump to over-arching subjects and to other elections to compare results. It is helpful and doesn't take a lot of space (even with many elections). I would like to ask you to restore the links. The same goes for the Netherlands template. Gangulf 15:11, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Nobody owns any page on Wikipedia except for their user/user-talk page and any subpages thereof. You have no more say over what the template should be than anyone else. This is elementary policy; please review Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 17:24, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
