Talk:Texas/Senator

Formatting

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)

There are 50 US states, each of which already has a page. There are hundreds of UK constituencies, very few, if any, of which have pages. So I suggest we ignore the UK for now. As for how to structure the US, the choices are Texas/Senator or Senator/Texas. How about the former, with |constitutes=US/Senator , so that all senator jobs will be listed at US/Senator? -- Robin (talk) 18:08, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Also fine with me. I thought let's set a general rule for all countries, as many states and departments don't have a page (yet), but this suggestion also sounds good for the US specifically. US Senator needs a re-direct then btw, as it currently lands at the US Senate itself. State/Function it is then. Terje? --Jun (talk) 21:45, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
