Usage
editThis template is to supply uniform, up-to-date officeholder data for New Zealand articles. It functions similarly to Template:NZ population data and Template:NZ school roll data.
The aim is to update after each general election, local election and by-election.
Syntax
edit{{NZ officeholder data|Far North District Mayor|y|y|y|a|b}}
The template has four main parameters:
- Position = Name of position (eg. Far North District Mayor, Northland MP)
- show holder = shows the person holding the role
- show date = shows the date the template was last updated (e.g. July 2024).
- unused - intended to show references but there is no suitable reference covering all the positions
- title pre= inserts text between the name and the date (e.g. "mayor as of", open bracket, etc.).
- title post= inserts text between the date and the reference (e.g. a full stop, close bracket, etc.).
Leaving a show parameter empty results in that value being hidden.
