This template creates a citation link to the biography page at the [http://www.assnat.qc.ca/ National Assembly of Quebec website] of a parliamentarian in [[Quebec]] (or its predecessor entities, [[Lower Canada]] and [[Canada East]]) '''who never held elective office'''.

This includes members of the following non-elective, appointed bodies:
* the [[Legislative Council of Quebec]] (1867 until abolition on December 31, 1968)
* the [[Legislative Council of the Province of Canada]] 1841–1867, for [[Canada East]] (elective from 1856–1867)
* the [[Special Council of Lower Canada]] 1838–1841
* the [[Legislative Council of Lower Canada]] 1792–1838
Also some governors and administrators:
* the [[Lieutenant Governor of Quebec]] 1867 to present
* the [[Lieutenant Governor of Lower Canada]] 1792–1841
who were never members of a lower, elective parliamentary house.

In general, the lower parliamentary houses were elected, the upper houses were appointed.

'''Use {{template|QuebecMNAbio}} instead''' (or the redirected alternative version {{template|QuebecMLAbio}}) for those who ever held an elective office (even if later appointed to a non-elective body).

This includes members of the following elective bodies:
* The present-day unicameral house, the [[National Assembly of Quebec]]
* The above under its former name of [[Legislative Assembly of Quebec]] (1867 until name change on December 31, 1968)
* The [[Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada]] 1841–1867, for [[Canada East]]
* The [[Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada]] 1792–1838
Note: there was no elected house from 1838 to 1841, in the aftermath of the [[Lower Canada Rebellion]].

=== Description of parameters ===
* '''ID''' (or just use '''first unnamed parameter'''): This is part of the URL for the member's biography. To look it up:
# Go to http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/membres/notices/index.html
# In the <code>[A] [B] [C] [D] [E-F] [G] [H-I] [J-K] [L] [M] [N-O] [P] [Q-R] [S] [T-U] [V-Z]</code> header, click on the letter corresponding to start of the member's surname
# Find the member's name in the resulting listing and click on it (or right-click and use "copy URL" in your browser)
# Extract the part of the URL between <code><nowiki>http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/patrimoine/anciens-parlementaires/</nowiki></code> and <code>.html</code>
:'''Note''': If the URL is of the form <code><nowiki>http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/deputes/#####/index.html</nowiki></code>, use {{template|QuebecMNAbio}} instead.

::Example: <code><nowiki>{{QuebecMLCbio|power-william-gerard-335}}</nowiki></code> for [[William Gerard Power]]
::Result: {{QuebecMLCbio|power-william-gerard-335}}

::Example: <code><nowiki>{{QuebecMLCbio|power-william-gerard-335|William Gerard Power}}</nowiki></code> for [[William Gerard Power]]

:'''Note''': the old (pre-2010) external-link URLs of the form
::<code><nowiki>http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fra/Membres/notices/d/dutr2.shtml</nowiki></code>
:are now deadlinks. Replace them.

;Optional parameters
* '''name''' (or just use '''second unnamed parameter'''): if specified (and '''text''' is unspecified), sets link text to "Biography of ''name'' at National Assembly of Quebec website". This is useful if you need to cite a person's biography on some other person's page. Ignored if '''text''' was specified.
* '''text''' : The link text. If unspecified (and '''name''' is also unspecified), this defaults to "Biography at National Assembly of Quebec website". Overrides '''name'''.
* '''fr''' : Specify <code>|fr=no</code> to suppress the default notification that the webpage is in French.
*: Note: Nearly all of the biographies are available in French only, even if the URL uses <code>/en/</code> instead of <code>/fr/</code>.
