Usage

[edit]

This template is used to include lots of statistical information about a district in a neat table. Here is how it's used:

Copy and paste the template below:

Notes

[edit]
  • Only the state, district, and chamber 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.
  • state is the name of a U.S state
  • district is the number of a legislative district without the ordinal suffix (no "-st", "-nd", "-rd", or "-th")
  • chamber is either House of Representatives, Senate, or Assembly
  • You should not include units for any parameter, such as percent signs (%). These are provided for you.
  • percent_remainder_of_multiracial is deprecated. You should use percent_multiracial instead.
  • For multi-member districts, you can repeat the parameters for the representative up to 11 times.
