Template:Referendum approved

{{{title}}}
Yes or no		Votes	Percentage
Yes		{{{yes}}}	{{{yespct}}}%
No		{{{no}}}	{{{nopct}}}%
Invalid or blank votes		{{{invalid}}}	{{{invalidpct}}}%
Total votes		{{{1}}}	{{{1}}}%
Voter turnout		{{{turnoutpct}}}%

Use this and the other templates to create a standard format for pending referendum. Before the election use

{{referendum pending'|title=whatever the item is known as}}. Note that you can include the same parameters as below but with blank values so that when the entry is changed they're already present. They should not affect the display.

After the election, change that to

{{referendum approved}}

or

{{referendum rejected}}

with the correct parameters so it doesn't require much work to change the box values but use a consistent format. Parameters are exactly the same for both of these, with approved putting the yes box first in bold, and rejected putting the no box first in bold. The parameters for both of these are:

|title=whatever the referendum is known as

|yes=number of votes yes

|yes%=percentage of yes votes (don't include the % on the percentage number)

|no= number of votes no

|no%=percentage of no votes, (don't include the % on the percentage number)

|invalid=number of blank and invalidated votes

|invalid%=percentage of invalid votes (don't include the % on the percentage number)

|total=total number of votes cast

|turnout%=percentage of total voter turnout (don't include the % on the percentage number)

Examples

Both of the following should produce the same output:

{{Referendum pending|title=whatever the referendum is known as}}

and

{{Referendum pending|title=whatever the referendum is known as|yes=|yes%=|no=|no%=|invalid=|invalid%=|total=|turnout%=}}

The following:

{{Referendum pending|title=Proposition 8}}

produces:

Proposition 8
Yes or no		Votes	Percentage
Yes			%
No			%
Invalid or blank votes			%
Total votes		{{{1}}}	{{{1}}}%
Voter turnout		%

and

{{Referendum pending|title=Proposition 8|yes=|yespct=|no=|nopct=|invalid=|invalid%=|total=|turnout%=}}

produces:

Proposition 8
Yes or no		Votes	Percentage
Yes			%
No			%
Invalid or blank votes			%
Total votes		{{{1}}}	{{{1}}}%
Voter turnout		%

The following:

{{Referendum rejected|title = Proposition 98<ref name="results">{{cite web |url=http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/sov/2008_primary_june/sdp08SOV1.pdf |title=Statement of Vote: June 3, 2008, Statewide Direct Primary Election |date=2008-07-12 |accessdate=2008-07-14 |publisher=[[California Secretary of State]]}}</ref> |no=2,677,456|no%=58.84|yes=1,675,213|yes%=36.82|invalid=197,558|invalid%=4.34 |total=4,550,227|turnout%=28.22}}

and

{{Referendum approved|title = Proposition 99<ref name="results"/> |no=1,644,509|no%=36.14|yes=2,678,106|yes%=58.86|invalid=227,612|invalid%=5.00 |total=4,550,227|turnout%=28.22}}

produces

Proposition 98
Yes or no		Votes	Percentage
No		2,677,456	58.84%
Yes		1,675,213	36.82%
Invalid or blank votes		197,558	4.34%
Total votes		{{{1}}}	{{{1}}}%
Voter turnout		28.22%

Proposition 99
Yes or no		Votes	Percentage
Yes		2,678,106	58.86%
No		1,644,509	36.14%
Invalid or blank votes		227,612	5.00%
Total votes		{{{1}}}	{{{1}}}%
Voter turnout		28.22%

And then {{reflist}} will produce the cross-reference:
