Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Current ID number | nid | The 4-digit, 7-digit or 8-digit ID number in the current URL, such as 1381166 in https://www.fjc.gov/node/1381166.
| Number | optional |
Former ID number | id 1 | The 2-digit, 3-digit or 4-digit ID number in the former URL, such as 844 in http://www.fjc.gov/servlet/nGetInfo?jid=844. This generates an archived link, such as https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.fjc.gov/servlet/nGetInfo?jid=844&cid=999&ctype=na&instate=na. | Number | optional |
Name | name 2 | The link text, which should be the name of the judge. This parameter is optional; it defaults to the Wikipedia article name, without any disambiguation such as "(judge)" or "(politician)".
| String | optional |
Inline | inline | When using the "id" parameter or unnamed parameter 1, setting "inline" to any value such as "yes" or "1" prevents the template from displaying a leading bullet before the text; this is necessary when using this template for an inline citation.
| String | optional |
Access Date | access-date | The date when the FJC BIO was accessed. It allows the template to be used as a reference, rather than as an external link. | Date | optional |
Date Format | date-format | The date format used when displaying the "access-date" parameter. This defaults to dmy, so "2023-12-11" displays as "11 December 2023".
| String | optional |
