I don't follow your proposed solution
==Party field==
==Party field==
Currently, the party field links to [[None]] when you put down "None" in that field, but the entire political party section of the infobox removes itself if the party field is left blank. Would anyone object to me modifying the template so that it puts "None" with no wikilink to [[None]] if no political party is specified, then going and modifying the articles that currently have "None" there?

:I understand the problem, but I'm not quite following your solution. Currently, according to your description, the following is happening:
:* Party listed — party gets linked.
:* Party not listed — line doesn't get shown.
:* Party shown as "none" — "none" gets linked.
:Instead you want:
:* Party listed — party gets linked.
:* Party not listed — line doesn't get shown??, or gets shown as blank??
:* Party shown as "none" — "none" is not listed??, or this situation is not used??
:A blank party could be either (a) the party is not known, or (b) he wasn't a member of a party. So showing "none" but not linking it would appear to be a desirable option.
