Is this Sticker suggestion worth pursuing?

Is it possible, or even feasible, to introduce a Sticker for profiles of people who served in the Australian Federal parliament or any of the Australian State parliaments. I usually take a generic sticker, add the respective national of state flag and write what they belonged to.  But, maybe it would be nice to have a Sticker that links the profile to the Category of the parliament they served. Just putting it out there. What to folk think?

Definitely NOT a sticker that adds a category, stickers and categories are not a good mix. Adding the incorrect wording adds red categories to the profile and if the category needs renaming at any stage, any profiles where the category was added by the sticker, will need to be changed manually. You would need to collaborate with Australia Project leadership to get their input.

In the meantime, you should probably use the occupation sticker and not the religion sticker, though they are similarly written.

Have the sticker with appropriate text parameters and add the category separately.

I agree with Margaret, and if you look at template suggestions in categories suggestions, even the simplest stickers with one or two parameters end up producing suggestions.  The only way I would add one with a category is to add it with an option that if the category is incorrectly entered, the category that would appear is a maintenance category. In this case, it would be a maintenance category for the Australia project. Right now, a suggestion box would be appropriate for a politician. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Succession
