Proposed new layout, akin to the UK Labour Party (note that the list of General Secretaries is incomplete). Was also thinking of adding a row for the chief whip. Thoughts?

This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a
navbox, sidebar, or
table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=parameter may be used:
{{New Zealand Labour Party|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
{{New Zealand Labour Party|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Fine by me. Just make sure that it gets done properly, which means no cut-and-paste moves. If unsure what that means or why it matters, I can swap things round. Unless anybody brings up reasons why the change shouldn't go ahead, of course. Schwede6623:48, 22 January 2017 (UTC)reply
J947 I said that because not everybody is aware that it's not something to be done as it
causes a lot of work to fix it. However, I said that before I checked that the content was actually created on the talk page (i.e. not in a separate template or sandbox, say), so there wasn't another way of doing it to what you did. The background to all of this is of
legal nature and just to be sure that we are not upsetting the apple cart, your edit summary should have stated 'copying content from talk page'. But it's pretty close and will do; just remember for next time. Schwede6618:55, 23 January 2017 (UTC)reply
Would anyone oppose splitting the current navbox out into separate templates? At this point the whole thing is quite overwhelming (I never enjoy having to open out more than one hidden section), and I don’t personally feel that (eg)
Shadow Cabinet of Norman Kirk or
Mason Affair need to link to every sitting member, nor vice versa. — HTGS (

Well, it needs a wider discussion. By what we discussed and did in the section above, we made it inconsistent with other party templates. For example:
