'''<nowiki>{{Biographical Directory of Congress}}</nowiki>''' (and its shorter redirect '''<nowiki>{{CongBio}}</nowiki>''') displays an external link to a specified article at the [[Biographical Directory of the United States Congress]] website ([http://bioguide.congress.gov bioguide.congress.gov]).

== Usage ==
In the following, <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Biographical Directory of Congress</code> can be used instead of <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio</code>.

=== Unnamed parameters ===
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio|''ID''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio|''ID''|''NAME''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

=== Named parameters ===
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio|id=''ID''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio|id=''ID''|name=''NAME''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio|id=''ID''|name=''NAME''|date=''DATE''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio|id=''ID''|name=''NAME''|date=''DATE''|inline=''YES''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>CongBio|id=''ID''|name=''NAME''|date=''DATE''|findagrave=''GRID''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

There are some other additional parameters that carry default values:
 author=''author'' — defaults to ''United States Congress'', but it can be overwritten
 mode  =''mode''   — defaults to ''cs1'' but can be set to ''cs2'' (see [[WP:CS1]])
 ref   =''ref''    — for use with the {{tlx|harv}} templates for inline citations 
                     defaults to:<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>harv|United States Congress|''ID''}}</code>
                     If the author is set to something other than ''United States Congress''
                     then it is also changed here. The ref parameter can be assigned another
                     value including ''none'' to unset the parameter.
 accessdate=''date'' — the usual name for the "Retrieved" parameter
