Discussion[edit]
Support This is great - for some reason I had it in my head that we couldn't link to DC for most elections because they were broken up by constituency/ward. Seems I was wrong :-) Being able to use overall links like this neatly solves that problem, and it'll be very handy. Andrew Gray (talk) 18:41, 28 March 2019 (UTC)- Support.
