I have to voice my opposition to having pictures of all the PM's there: it just makes it look too crowded. I think the Canadian one looks terrible. And anyway, the pictures vary in quality etc. Slac speak up! 11:03, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I think it looks more logical like this. Adam 02:02, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I am on dialup and it causes me no problems. Aesthetically I think it works very well. Adam 08:52, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Aesthetically it's a disaster: the photos are all different sizes, different perspectives, and most are black and white but then a few are colour! It's also less than simple to see their faces, making the photos of questionable value, anyway. I think we should abolish the photos... El T 14:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be something of an edit war brewing here, so to get things clear: any photograph taken in Australia before 1 January 1955 is in the public domain (according to Australian copyright law, which is recognised by United States copyright law, and the law of everywhere else). This means the photos of everyone up to Lyons (except for Bruce), plus Curtin and Chifley, are all public domain since they all died before 1955. There are PD options for Page, Menzies and Fadden from during their actual terms. The problematic ones will be everyone after Menzies, that is from Holt onwards. There are PD options available for many of them, most from their earlier careers in Parliament. The photos of later PMs are not in the public domain, but my point is that more than half of the photos here are PD. Please, don't remove them all on the basis that they are "copyvio and/or dubious usability", nor add them all back on the basis that they are all safe to use. Let's discuss this. --bainer (talk) 22:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
I removed table above as it primarily contained non-free images, which fail WP:FUC when used in that manner. — CharlotteWebb 20:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
There seems to be some resistance by one user for converting this template to a standard form, namely, ((Navbox)). The ((Navbox)) / ((Navbox generic)) form is used by about 5000 templates in Wikipedia. The reason for standard templates is to ensure a consistent look and feel throughout all of Wikipedia, and to be able to easily change that look and feel over time (instead of having to edit each template or article individually). I am not pleased that my good faith edits are being reverted simply because someone feels that the Show/Hide button isn't necessary. I feel that this reversion could be a violation of Wikipedia's reversion policy. This button is a very small price to pay in order to achieve standardization. Good faith edits should not be reverted simply because one does not like a small part of the edit. I will reinstate the standard template form unless there is some good discussion on this page and a good reason as to why it should not be converted (and the Show/Hide reason is not nearly a good enough reason in my opinion). Thanks, and I look forward to continuing this discussion. --CapitalR 23:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
As an example, Andrew Fisher has two collapsable templates at the bottom now, and previously one or both would always start off collapsed. I'll leave it and see how it goes - but ultimately, why is there a need to potentially bust some browsers/configurations over standardisation that doesnt make any difference to the front-end/end-user?

It's rather strange that the ALP leader infobox displays fine but the PM infobox doesn't on my Nokia E65 on it's internal browser over wi-fi... it displays like it codes. Each PM is on their own line on the very left hand side, but is mainly a huge box of white. Timeshift 00:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
If I knew how to take a screenshot on my mobile I would :P All I can say is that it looks like it codes... all PMs on their own line on the very left, with blank white filling the box to the right. Like rather than:
Barton | Deakin | Watson | Reid | Fisher | Cook | Hughes | Bruce | Scullin | Lyons | Page | Menzies | Fadden | Curtin | Forde | Chifley | Holt | McEwen | Gorton | McMahon | Whitlam | Fraser | Hawke | Keating | Howard
It shows as:
Barton |
Deakin |
Watson |
Reid |
Fisher |
Cook |
Hughes |
Bruce |
Scullin |
Lyons |
Page |
Menzies |
etc, with a large amount of white space to the right to fill up the rest of the space in the box - that's why I said, it looks like how it's coded. As for my browser, not sure sorry, it's the generic one that comes with my Nokia E65. Timeshift 00:14, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Was there a reason that we changed the template to non-consecutive term-holders multiple times? My recollection was that we decided against it at WP:AWNB. Slac speak up! 07:16, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Given the recent happenings in Canberra tonight this template is receiving Good Faith edits, but until Kevin Rudd is sworn in by the GG, this most likely wont occur until after he's faced a no confidence motion on the floor of parliament tomorrow. Once he has been officially sworn in then feel free to either remove the protection and make the changes or request this be done by placing the template ((edit request)) with the requested change below, please for convenience of the responding admin include a link to news site confirming he has been sworn in.
