Usage

This template creates a citation link to the biography page at the 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:

Also some governors and administrators:

who were never members of a lower, elective parliamentary house.

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

Use {{QuebecMNAbio}} instead (or the redirected alternative version {{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:

Note: there was no elected house from 1838 to 1841, in the aftermath of the Lower Canada Rebellion.

{{QuebecMLCbio|####}}

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:
  1. Go to http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/membres/notices/index.html
  2. In the [A] [B] [C] [D] [E-F] [G] [H-I] [J-K] [L] [M] [N-O] [P] [Q-R] [S] [T-U] [V-Z] header, click on the letter corresponding to start of the member's surname
  3. Find the member's name in the resulting listing and click on it (or right-click and use "copy URL" in your browser)
  4. Extract the part of the URL between http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/patrimoine/anciens-parlementaires/ and .html
Note: If the URL is of the form http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fr/deputes/#####/index.html, use {{QuebecMNAbio}} instead.

Note: the old (pre-2010) external-link URLs of the form
http://www.assnat.qc.ca/fra/Membres/notices/d/dutr2.shtml
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 |fr=no 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 /en/ instead of /fr/.
