This template creates a standardized link to the person's individual entry in the database of (former) members of the European Parliament, permanently defined by a numerical ID.

Usage

edit

The template makes use of the ID being given by the P1186 property in the associated Wikidata entry, if existing. Otherwise the ID can be manually entered, but it is preferable to add the ID to the Wikidata entry.

{{MEP}} produces: Personal profile of MEP directory ID/doc in the European Parliament's database of members
{{MEP|12345}} produces: Personal profile of MEP directory ID/doc in the European Parliament's database of members
{{MEP|1234|Klaus Wettig}} produces: Personal profile of Klaus Wettig in the European Parliament's database of members
  • Using the optional second parameter is necessary when adding a MEP link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person (for example, if you include the MEP link for Martin Schulz in the François Hollande or the European Commission article, you must specify Martin Schulz's name as the text for the link).
