Can you do that, since you're designing the changes? Thanks. Glad the 1956 was caught, but I think the official address, the constitutional requirement (which actually doesn't say yearly, but something like from time to time), is the one delivered to Congress. So wouldn't 1956 and all the others be the official address? Nitpicking, but could be a Constitutional nitpick. And I apologize for jumping in so much on this, it's just that I had the template linked and saw the changes, and then put my two cents in (worth less than half-a-cent in today's economy). <a href="/wiki/User:Randy_Kryn" title="User:Randy Kryn">Randy Kryn</a> 7:27 14 January, 2015 (UTC)</dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd>I have gone through with an older version, and I can confirm that no other Wikipedia articles were deleted off the template, all the existing State of the Union articles are still on the template. <a href="/wiki/User:Fireflyfanboy" title="User:Fireflyfanboy">user:Fireflyfanboy</a><a href="/wiki/User:Fireflyfanboy" title="User:Fireflyfanboy">Fireflyfanboy</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Fireflyfanboy" title="User talk:Fireflyfanboy">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:State_of_the_Union#c-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T08:08:00.000Z-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T07:17:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:08, 14 January 2015 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T08:08:00.000Z-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T07:17:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-01-14T08:08:00.000Z","author":"Fireflyfanboy","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T08:08:00.000Z-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T07:17:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"user:Fireflyfanboy"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T08:08:00.000Z-Fireflyfanboy-2015-01-14T07:17:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONDESKTOP__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Wikisource-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Wikisource&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Wikisource&quot;}--><h2 id="Wikisource" data-mw-thread-id="h-Wikisource-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Wikisource-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z"></span>Wikisource<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Wikisource-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:State_of_the_Union&amp;action=edit&amp;section=4" title="Edit section: Wikisource"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Wikisource-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z","replies":["c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource"]}}--><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"><!--__DTLATESTCOMMENTTHREAD__{"id":"c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource","timestamp":"2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z"}__--><!--__DTCOMMENTCOUNT__1__--><!--__DTAUTHORCOUNT__1__--></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"><!--__DTSUBSCRIBEBUTTONMOBILE__{&quot;headingLevel&quot;:2,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;h-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;heading&quot;,&quot;level&quot;:0,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;h-Wikisource-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z&quot;,&quot;replies&quot;:[&quot;c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource&quot;],&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Wikisource&quot;,&quot;linkableTitle&quot;:&quot;Wikisource&quot;}--></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource"></span>Why are you linking to WikiSource if WikiSource doesn't have the text of the speech? For example, 1838 (Martin Van Buren's second address) does not exist at WikiSource, and if it did, it probably wouldn't live at the URL you've provided in the template. Wouldn't it make more sense to leave a redlink in place for a Wikipedia article? That way you'll be able to see actual demand for such an article by checking inbound links -- and the interwiki logic always formats a WS link as a blue external link so you have no idea that there's no content there either until you actually navigate there. --<a href="/wiki/User:Mukkakukaku" title="User:Mukkakukaku"><span style="color:#006600;"><b>M</b>û<b>ĸĸ</b>â<b>ĸ</b>û<b>ĸ</b>â<b>ĸ</b>û</span></a> <sub><small>(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mukkakukaku" title="User talk:Mukkakukaku">blah?</a>)</small></sub> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:State_of_the_Union#c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:41, 3 September 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z","author":"Mukkakukaku","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource","replies":[],"displayName":"M\u00fb\u0138\u0138\u00e2\u0138\u00fb\u0138\u00e2\u0138\u00fb"}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mukkakukaku-2018-09-03T03:41:00.000Z-Wikisource"></span> </p> <!-- NewPP limit report Parsed by mw‐web.codfw.main‐f69cdc8f6‐dnxpp Cached time: 20241122033303 Cache expiry: 864000 Reduced expiry: true Complications: [vary‐revision‐sha1, show‐toc] DiscussionTools time usage: 0.012 seconds CPU time usage: 0.269 seconds Real time usage: 0.322 seconds Preprocessor visited node count: 7028/1000000 Post‐expand include size: 26826/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 4793/2097152 bytes Highest expansion depth: 11/100 Expensive parser function count: 9/500 Unstrip recursion depth: 0/20 Unstrip post‐expand size: 19197/5000000 bytes Lua time usage: 0.124/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage: 2541578/52428800 bytes Number of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400 --> <!-- Transclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template) 100.00% 275.138 1 Template:WikiProject_banner_shell 100.00% 275.138 1 -total 51.16% 140.760 1 Template:WikiProject_United_States 27.53% 75.739 1 Template:WikiProject_U.S._Congress 9.77% 26.889 1 Template:Flatlist 3.99% 10.970 91 Template:Ifexist_not_redirect 1.62% 4.470 21 Template:Yesno 1.05% 2.879 1 Template:Pagetype 1.00% 2.755 2 Template:Nobreak 0.79% 2.160 3 Template:Para --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:idhash:25977020-0!canonical and timestamp 20241122033303 and revision id 1237603969.
