Description of suggested change: Insert the following at Module:Authority control/config (note that the identifiers are ordered by wikidata property ID)
{'VICPARL',
property = 12362,
section = 6,
pattern = '^[a-z]+(\-[a-z]+)*$',
link = 'https://parliament.vic.gov.au/members/$1',
label = 'Victorian Parliament',
},

- The pattern needs to be updated to allow for a number at the end of the identifier, e.g. alexander-smith2 on Alexander Kennedy Smith. These are being tracked as errors on Category:Articles with faulty authority control information — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:40, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
