Template:Rayment-hc/doc

Usage
This template is used to access Leigh Rayment's Historical List of MPs on Rayment's Peerage Pages

With just a month year parameter this template links to that web site. But this template also takes three optional parameters.

There is one named parameter called external links which should be set to "1" if this template is being used in an "External links" or a "Further reading" section of an article. It will turn off the two messages warning that this is a [self-published source?] and [better source needed].



Leigh Rayment's Historical List of MPs are listed by constituencies placed under www.leighrayment.com/commons/ and then a page name consisting of the first letter of constituency name, "commons" and then a part number. So constituencies starting with "A" and on page "1" are at /commons/Acommons1.htm, and constituencies starting with an "S" on page 2 are at /commons/Scommons2.htm and so on. Some constituencies names such as those starting with the letter "F" are all on one page without a part number commons/Fcommons.htm.

This template takes one or two unnamed parameters in the order first letter of the constituency and then part (Whether they come before or after the named parameter  does not matter). So the two examples above would be entered like this:


 * {{|date=July 2024}|A|1}}
 * {{|date=July 2024}|A|1}}





All four together like this:

and without a part number like this:
 * {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|external links=1|F}}
 * {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}|external links=1|F}}
