– per WP:NC-GAL, use the format "Date [adjectival form of country name] type election". These are the elections held before the "two Chinas ambiguation" appeared in 1949. Article 1909 Chinese provincial elections is already in the correct place. Fizikanauk (talk) 04:28, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Adding a clear distinction between this election and the 1947 one.

I believe it would be beneficial to add a reference on the '1947 Chinese National Assembly election' page that the the two elections mentioned (1947 National Assembly & 1948 Legislative) are not the same, for a couple of reasons.

a) The previous Beiyang government used the name 'National Assembly' to refer to its bicameral legislature (consisting of The House of Representatives & The Senate respectively), and thus some people might mistankingly believe that the 'Legislative election' also elected the National Assembly, which is not the case. The National Assembly under the Kuomintang-led second republic functioned as a body which elected The President & Vice-president (which it did in the '1948 Presidential election') and amended the constitution (which was crucial in relation to its passing of the 'Additional Articles of the Constitution' and the Assembly's self-dissolution in 2005). The '1948 Legislative election', on the other hand, elected deputies to the 'Legislative Yuan', a completely new body that is exclusive to Sun Yat Sen's and the KMT's philosophy and was thus not present in the former Beiyang republic. Pointing out that the KMT National Assembly is not a continuation of the Beiyang-era National Assembly would make things a lot less confusing, as not that long ago the '1918 National Assembly Election' page still pointed to the '1947 National Assembly Election' as its successive election, making the impression that said body still carried legislative functions, which is false since most of its legislative powers were transfered to the Legislative Yuan when the 1947 Constitution was drafted.

b) Both pages show a portrait of Chiang Kai-Shek in its preview, making it very easy for more graphic-oriented people to confuse the two, since the only true difference between both pages at first glance is a 1 year difference, which is not a lot

c) The two bodies are interconnected, as both were elected only once on the mainland, both had supplementary elections during the KMT One-party dictatorship on Taiwan, and a 1957 Constitutional court ruling confirmed that both bodies were equivalent (together with the Control Yuan) in forming a tricameral parliamentary system. Thus knowing both bodies is crucial to understand why the National Assembly was abolished and why Taiwan today is considered a unicameral system.

For the reasons above I believed it justified to add a note that would redirect the viewer to the almost-contemporary election of its related body, as it would remove confusion & consumes very little space, making there be no reason to not add such a disclaimer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vladimir Budinski (talk • contribs) 15:40, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

As I said in the edit summary, a hatnote isn't necessary as there is a clear marker between the two elections (i.e. the year being different). By all means add some text to the intro of the respective articles to clarify what the difference between the National Assembly and Legislative Yuan is though. Number 57 11:17, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
