Change to URL
It would seem that the parliament website has changed the URL it uses. The template currently links to. It seems that the website now uses the following To give an example the url for Redmond Barry was  and is now. It is easy enough to update the template, but I would rather not have to go through and manually search & replace change the mid to a num. One short-term fix would be to change the template to link to an archive page (eg Redmond Barry), but I am not sure if there is a consistent archive date. Any other suggestions for a short-term or long term fix ? Find bruce (talk) 05:02, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

URL Changed again
"On 1 June 2022, we published a new website. With this change, some content may have moved or expired."

Deakin is now at https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/members/alfred-deakin/ Others I've looked for also seem to be lower-cased name with no number either.

I'm not up to fixing it - pinging possible help: - thanks -- Scott Davis Talk 08:43, 28 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I have made this template to accommodate the new website which has info for both current and former MPs. I will now redirect this template's urls to a webarchive of the old website. so those links aren't broken. ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 14:41, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @ScottDavis: ✅ — Hopefully that fixes it. For referencing to the new webiste, this template should be used. ––– GMH Melbourne (talk) 15:00, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
