Template:SP-MSP/doc

This template is used to construct a link to the Scottish Parliament website's page on an individual Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP).

The link may be formatted in several different ways.

Usage

Basic usage

The basic usage takes the MSP's name from the title of the article, and creates a link formatted in a style suited to the external links section of an article:

• {{SP-MSP}}

e.g. on the article Tricia Marwick,

• {{SP-MSP}} → Scottish Parliament profiles of MSPs: Tricia Marwick

Specified name

If the name of the MSP is not the same as the current article, the name may be specified with a single, unnamed parameter:

e.g.

• {{SP-MSP|Tricia Marwick}} → Scottish Parliament profiles of MSPs: Tricia Marwick
• {{SP-MSP|Ken Macintosh}} → Scottish Parliament profiles of MSPs: Ken Macintosh
• {{SP-MSP|Alison Johnstone}} → Scottish Parliament profiles of MSPs: Alison Johnstone

Modes

The template supports four different modes, for use in different contexts. These are specified using the |mode= parameter:

mode=profile (default)

• {{SP-MSP|Tricia Marwick|mode=profile}} → Scottish Parliament profiles of MSPs: Tricia Marwick

mode=cite (for use inside <ref>...</ref> tags)

• {{SP-MSP|Tricia Marwick|mode=cite}} → "Tricia Marwick". Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs). Scottish Parliament.

mode=url (just the bare URL of the profile page)

• {{SP-MSP|Tricia Marwick|mode=url}} → https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps/tricia-marwick

mode=nameonly (the only text is the linked name)

• {{SP-MSP|Tricia Marwick|mode=nameonly}} → Tricia Marwick
