Template:Representative

{{Representative}} looks up information about an incumbent member of a representative body. When this information is replicated across many articles, corrections and updates become laborious. Gathering it together on a single wiki page (herein called a 'dataset') eases the maintenance burden.

• The first positional parameter indicates which dataset to use for lookup.
• The second positional parameter, usually a numeric value, indicates which district or seat.

• format= to specify the display format (name of formatting template)
• fmt= to specify the display format (shorthand)

• {{Representative|nycd|1}}

displays the representative of New York's 1st congressional district in the default format:

Nick LaLota (R)

• {{Representative|caad|2|format=Representative/format/nameonly}}

displays the representative of California's 2nd State Assembly district using {{Representative/format/nameonly}} for formatting:

Jim Wood

• {{Representative|cacd|3|fmt=linked}}

displays the representative of California's 3rd congressional district using {{Representative/format/linked}} for formatting:

Kevin Kiley

Updates and corrections to data (such as the representative's name or political affiliation) should be made to the "dataset template". There are six dataset templates:

California

Massachusetts

New York (state)

San Francisco

Some display formats are not supported for all datasets.
