Usage edit

{{FJC Bio}} allows linking to the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges of the Federal Judicial Center, using parameter of subject.

This template adds articles to Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges.

Parameters edit

  • {{{nid}}} (optional; will fetch value from Wikidata property P12000 if possible) = The 4-digit, 7-digit or 8-digit ID number in the current URL, such as 1381166 in https://www.fjc.gov/node/1381166.
  • {{{id}}} or {{{1}}} (optional; use the current ID number if possible) = The 2-digit, 3-digit or 4-digit ID number in the former URL, such as 844 in http://www.fjc.gov/servlet/nGetInfo?jid=844. This generates an archived link, such as https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.fjc.gov/servlet/nGetInfo?jid=844&cid=999&ctype=na&instate=na.
  • {{{name}}} (optional) = The link text, which should be the name of the judge. This parameter is optional; it defaults to the Wikipedia article name, without any disambiguation such as "… (judge)" or "… (politician)".
  • {{{inline}}} (optional) = When using the "id" parameter or unnamed parameter 1, setting "inline" to any value such as yes or 1 prevents the template from displaying a leading bullet before the text; this is necessary when using the template in an inline citation.
  • {{{access-date}}} (optional) = Adds a retrieval date to the citation. Format unfortunately does not respect {{Use mdy dates}} tags and must be specified using |date-format=mdy.
