Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/To-do/Politicians

This is a to-do list for Australian politician articles

If you do create an article, please:


 * Note that the standard disambiguator is 1stname 2ndname (Australian politician). Where there are two Australian politicians of the same name, consider using 1stname 2ndname (Stateian politician).
 * Ensure correct categorisation:
 * MHR's should be in their division category, for example Category:Members of the Australian House of Representatives for Fisher as well as Category:Members of the Australian House of Representatives
 * Senators should be in their State senate category, for example Category:Members of the Australian Senate for New South Wales, as well as Category:Members of the Australian Senate
 * Remove the name from the respective red link section/s below

Note that every MHR and Senator who ever held a ministerial office is in List of Australian ministries.

Tables
I created these tables to keep track of all the pollies.. obviously it will be extended to cover all electorates and all federal elections. I just wanted to show people what I was planning before I did the whole thing. Eventually, I will expect it to look like WikiProject Sports Olympics/Articles.

Note these are NOT intended to be used in articles, they are for managing existing and forthcoming articles. The idea is to use the red/blue links to see what has been created, and what needs to be done. The 'related changes' can also be used to keep track of recent edits.

The shading indicates party affiliation - I will get rid of this if people think it isn't useful, or makes the links harder to read - and if people really want, I can attempt to use various shades of colours to indicate safety levels of seats, but that might be a bit much! Also note I'm not attempting to make the initials of the MPs unique, they are just there so there is some text to link the MP article to.

Sample senate table is done.. though it takes a lot longer than the HR one, I've only done as far back as the last double dissolution of the senate... and again, only for Tas, so far. -- Chuq 00:30, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I've updated the Senate table below - it was a real bastard to do! There are some figures around the 1983-1984 election that aren't complete on Adam's site. But most of the rest is in there.
