@Timrollpickering: Can you please explain, a little more in depth, the problem with using {{Category U.S. State elections by year}}? I'm not sure I understand. Thanks. —GoldRingChip 15:57, 27 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Because templates that populate categories often don't work when the sequence changes. This populates Category:1820 in Missouri but in 1820 it was still Missouri Territory and the correct category is Category:1820 in Missouri Territory. Using the template just populates the redirect and the redirect bot can't fix it so it just clogs up the system. Timrollpickering (Talk) 17:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
