Template:SD-legdb/doc

This template creates a formatted link from a number that represents a particular South Dakota legislator in the South Dakota Legislator Historical Listing.

This also returns the bullet (*), so adding this template next to a bullet will indent it further.

Usage

This template requires only one argument: a number, which can be found in the URL of the legislator information page.

{{SD-legdb|3050}} (the entry for Sen. William Napoli) will create the following information:

• William Napoli at South Dakota Legislator Historical Listing

{{SD-legdb|2930}} (the entry for former State Rep. Tim Johnson) will create the following information:

• Tim Johnson at South Dakota Legislator Historical Listing

The name is generated from the name of the page that is calling it (if you use the same template on the article for a different representative or senator it will display the name from the article title). You can optionally pass a second parameter if you want the name displayed to be different than the page title (such as when the article contains a phrase set off in parentheses for disambiguation purposes).
