Talk:1960 South Korean parliamentary election

Linking to legislative elections in the infobox's chronology is correct

edit

Number 57 -- At least, it is more in line with how other Wikipedia pages are, so your edit seems more correct. I still do stand by the name change from "legislative election" to "parliamentary election", though.

A case study: Sri Lanka changed from a parliamentary to a presidential system in 1978, and in 1982 a president was democratically elected for the first time. As you can see in the Wikipedia page for the 1982 Sri Lankan presidential election, the chronology is only presidential elections and does not link to the previous parliamentary election in 1977. The infobox for the 1977 Sri Lankan parliamentary election shows the next election as the 1989 Sri Lankan parliamentary election, not the '82 presidential election despite the fact that executive power had transferred from the Prime Minister to the President from 1977 to 1982.

Another example is the transition from the Soviet Union to Russia. The infoboxes for Soviet international legislative elections, such as the 1989 Soviet Union legislative election, in which the party was lead by the Chairman, do not share the chronology as Russian presidential elections, namely the 1991 Russian presidential election, and also do not share the chronology as Russia-only legislative elections, such as the 1990 Russian Supreme Soviet election, which has its own infobox chronology.
