[edit] Parliament of Canada website overhaul

Parliament's website for historical MPs list was recently modified to use a new URL scheme for MP career/bio information. The simple ID number approach (currently supported by this template) was replaced with a more complicated, coded URL scheme e.g. Jean-Guy Hudon had ID=1121, but the new URL link is based on the code "Item=d590d6af-797b-4896-aa69-6365eb37655e" [1]. Although there's still backwards compatibility for existing uses of {{Parlbio}}, there's no indication if or when that scheme might get broken. Also, new MP pages will need to use the new URL scheme, as it would be difficult to find the old-style ID numbers. Dl2000 00:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

{{CanParlbio}} is now created to handle the new-format URLs - it will require the new complex ID as parameter, however. Dl2000 03:20, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
