Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress/Bioguide

This subpage of Project Congress will track how well information is imported from the Bioguide.

Content notice template
Bioguide looks like this:

External link template: CongBio
CongBio allows linking to the Bioguide, using the subject as the parameter. For members who served only before 1991.

For example, Henry Clay's biography is at http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=C000482, so   will return an external link to that biography:



External link template: CongLinks
CongLinks uses a multi-parameter to allow linking to the Bioguide along with several other sources for members from 1991-present. This is preferred.

There is more information available online for a more recent politician such as Hillary Clinton, so   will return additional relevant links:



Cleanup project template
