{{Representative}} looks up information about an incumbent member of a representative body. When this information is replicated across many articles, corrections and updates become laborious. Gathering it together on a single wiki page (herein called a 'dataset') eases the maintenance burden.
Updates and corrections to data (such as the representative's name or political affiliation) should be made to the "dataset template". There are six dataset templates:
