How to use
{{CongBio}} and {{Biographical Directory of Congress}} allow linking to the Bioguide, using parameter of subject.
Parameters
- {{{1}}} (required) = index
- {{{name}}} (optional) = Name, which should only be necessary if {{PAGENAME}} has a disambiguating name, such as "… (politician)"
- {{{findagrave}}} (optional) = index at Findagrave.com
- {{{date}}} (optional) = Date retrieved
- {{{inline}}} (optional) = yes, 1, or anything
Example
Henry Clay's biography is at http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=c000482,
So {{CongBio|c000482|findagrave=203|date=January 26, 2010}} will return an external link to that biography:
- Henry Clay at the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress. Retrieved January 26, 2010
- "Henry Clay". Find a Grave. Retrieved January 26, 2010.
{{Biographical Directory of Congress|c000482|findagrave=203|date=January 26, 2010}} works in the same way:
- Biographical Directory of Congress at the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress. Retrieved January 26, 2010
- "Biographical Directory of Congress". Find a Grave. Retrieved January 26, 2010.
To use the template without the *, type {{CongBio|c000482|inline=1|date=January 25, 2010}} or {{Biographical Directory of Congress|c000482|inline=1|date=January 25, 2010}}
Henry Clay at the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress. Retrieved January 26, 2010
