Usage

{{FJC Bio}} allows linking to the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges of the Federal Judicial Center, using parameter of subject.

This template is meant to supersede both {{FJC}} and {{JudgeBio}}, as it functions both as an attribution template and as a link template. It also adds articles to Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges.

Parameters

  • {{{1}}} (required) = ID number of the biography you are linking to (see below). NOTE: Some biographies use three-digit IDs, others may use two or four digits
  • {{{name}}} (optional) = Name, which should only be necessary if {{PAGENAME}} has a disambiguating name, such as "… (politician)"

Format

{{ FJC Bio | 1234 | John Smith }}

Example

John Joseph Gibbons's biography is at http://www.fjc.gov/servlet/tGetInfo?jid=844,
So {{FJC Bio|844}} will return an external link to that biography:

To use the template without the *, type {{FJC Bio|844|inline=1}}
John Joseph Gibbons at the Biographical Directory of Federal Judges, a public domain publication of the Federal Judicial Center.
