Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

This template is used to include lots of statistical information about a United States congressional district in a neat table.

Usage

Copy and paste the template below:

{{Infobox U.S. congressional district
| state                      = 
| district number            = 
| image name                 = 
| image width                = 
| image caption              = 
| member type                =
      <!-- if delegate or resident commissioner -->

| representative             =
      <!-- Must be current; otherwise empty. -->

| party                      = 
| residence                  =
      <!-- City only (without the state) -->

| disamb                     =
      <!-- County or other portion of residence article name -->

| english area               =
| metric area                = 
| percent urban              = 
| percent rural              = 
| population                 = 
| population year            = 
| median income              = 
| ethnicity ref              = 
| percent white              = 
| percent black              = 
| percent asian              = 
| percent native american    = 
| percent native hawaiian    = 
| percent hispanic           = 
| percent other race         = 
| percent more than one race = 
| percent blue collar        = 
| percent white collar       = 
| percent gray collar        = 
| cpvi                       = 
}}

Usage for obsolete congressional districts

Add the following fields to use this template in articles for obsolete congressional districts.

| obsolete                   = yes
      <!--required for other fields to display properly. All other fields are optional.-->
      
| created                    = 
| eliminated                 = 
| years                      =

Notes

Only the state and district number fields are required. All other fields are optional, and the table has logic to display the data correctly even when some fields are missing. (However, if the first field in a category is missing, all fields in that category will be assumed empty. For example, if percent blue collar is missing, any value in percent white collar will be ignored.)

You should not include units, percent signs (%), or dollar signs ($) in your fields. These are provided for you.

For obsolete districts, the field obsolete is required, and must be yes in order for the remainder of the fields to display. This ensures that fields unique to obsolete districts will not be displayed on existing congressional districts.

Examples

Below are three examples, and what they look like.

An example with all fields filled in:

{{Infobox U.S. congressional district
| state                      = Alabama

| image width                = 250
| image caption              = District map as of 2002
