Talk:List of bills in the 117th United States Congress

Should a table or bullet points be used to list bills under Other Legislation in the Introduced in the House of Representatives section?

An editor created a list using a table, which replaced the bullet points list that was there before under Other Legislation in the Introduced in the House of Representatives section. The bullet points list just had the bill number and bill name, wheras the table has the bill number, bill name (or a shortened title if a bill name is long), date of bills introduction and a bill description. Anyways, should the original bullet points list be used, or should the new list made with a table, be used? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greshthegreat (talk • contribs) 03:05, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, The reason I have added a table is that is how the 115th article was setup, and it allows for more detail about each bill. I have also used the layout from the 115th article I also plan on changing the 116th article as well. I have also noticed that you changed some of the "hres" into "hr". I have learned today there is a difference between a "House Bill" and a "House Resolution". Template:USBill has more information about proper use of the template.

More information

I think it would be useful to add more information about who introduced the bill and what its current status is if not clear from the section heading. Currently, especially in the "Other" table, there's no way to distinguish between notable bills and ones that were introduced without the expectation of ever proceeding, which makes it harder for readers to find useful information. I don't have the knowledge to do it myself. MClay1 (talk) 07:09, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
