With US Representatives and Senators, what is the best way to sort them? We have a lot of people with employment "Representative of the 101. district of Maryland" etc, that need to be merged into bigger employments. I like it by state like this. Another option is redirecting all Representatives to a common employment "Member of the United States House of Representatives".
The same goes for especially British parliamentarians, where we have "Member of Parliament for Islington North" etc. I suggest merging all to "Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)", as doing employment by electoral district mostly isn't that interesting + electoral borders change all the time.

- As a lot of MPs throughout the world won't ever be of importance of this site (may god bless their uncorrupted souls), I have resorted to just formatting MPs with "country/function" (eg. US/President), reasoning being it centralises more lists with SWMdocs, like the Bilderberg list I've just added as an example to https://wikispooks.com/wiki/President_of_the_United_States_of_America. If by chance some do become popular visited pages here, we can always include that in the lede. Helps to unstub them. So, your suggesting sounds fine, however, may I add a slight request? It would be better to format to country/function (eg: UK/Prime Minister & US/President, and not like recently slapped Mr. Macron has "President of France in his Hcard which needs a redirect to the actual page France/President). I suggest "country/function" as if i recall right, is better for the site readability, reduced the growth of the site-backup file and the server costs. --Jun (talk) 01:56, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
