Template:Election summary total/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Election summary total.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{Election summary total}} adds a row totaling the number of votes in an election, for purposes of the {{Election summary}} group of templates.

Background[edit]

This is a fork of {{Election summary net total}}, which is a misnomer that does what editors might presume this template does (i.e. end the summary table for a series of template invocations relying on the default set).

Usage[edit]

Syntax[edit]

{{Election summary total
| net    = no <!-- if "yes", removes two extra empty columns to accommodate the loss of gain & loss cols -->
| seats  = 
| votes  = 
}}
