Deleted Template/Malfunctioned template[edit]

This unparsed code:

{{Infobox President of Alþingi
| name=Guðbjartur Hannesson
| image=Gudbjartur hannessonLAN.jpg
| order=[[President of Alþingi]]
| term_start    =[[4]], [[2009]] 
| term_end      =
| president     =[[Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson]])
| prime minister =[[Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir
| predecessor   =[[Sturla Böðvarsson]]
| successor     =
| party=[[Social Democratic Alliance|Social Democratic Alliance]]
|}}

I have changed it to:

{{Infobox President of Alþingi
|name=Guðbjartur Hannesson
|image=[[Gudbjartur hannessonLAN.jpg]]
|order=[[President of Alþingi]]
|term_start     =[[4]], [[2009]] 
|term_end       =
|president      =[[Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson]])
|prime minister =[[Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir]]
|predecessor    =[[Sturla Böðvarsson]]
|successor      =
|party          =[[Social Democratic Alliance|Social Democratic Alliance]]
|}}

But the template has been deleted. Is it a problem, or should I just get rid of it? --Ernest lk lam (talk) 06:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of the spaces will have had no effect since they did not occur between words. The problem is that there is no such template as "Infobox President of Alþingi", presumably because that office is specific to Iceland. If it ever existed, perhaps it was deleted as having little scope. I believe that the infobox templates for government offices are intended to be usable in several countries. Consider: in the UK we have a post "Speaker of the House of Commons"; but there is no specific infobox named "Infobox Speaker of the House of Commons". The previous holder of that title was Michael Martin (politician); if you look at the infobox on his article, you will see that "Infobox Speaker" suffices. For Guðbjartur Hannesson, I suggest that you examine Template:Infobox officeholder and select one of those. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:00, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
