New coalition is not formed yet.
At the bottom of the current infobox, it says "Elected chancellor". While correct, this can misleadingly give the impression that Merkel was elected chancellor *in this election*. She was, of course, elected by parliament (Bundestag) months later. I think it would be better to use the infobox for legislative elections, which avoids this wording. See for instance Dutch general election, 2017. KarlFrei (talk) 13:05, 30 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Whoever keeps reverting the infobox to the Proportional-results-only version, please stop. Having both Constituency and Proportional results is common practice in other mixed member elections (e.g. 2016 Scottish Parliament election, 2020 South Korean legislative election, 2017 Japanese general election, 2020 New Zealand general election) and German election articles should be in line with that.
