Hi, The MEP template does not work anymore. Here is Jerzy Buzek's MEP page: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/28269/JERZY_BUZEK/home in the MEP template there is a .html at the end. The European Parliament's website changed some time ago. The template needs to be adjusted. Leochato (talk) 20:35, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Already done by you [1] Random sampling of the articles on which the template appears all have working links. NiciVampireHeart 22:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, indeed, I did it myself eventually. I have also edited many pages to apply the new template. I'll continue to check for the other MEPs. The difficulty is that this template can be applied only to the current MEPs, and there are many MEPs that have not been re-elected or are just not MEPs anymore. It's a very powerful tool the template, like that the next time the European Parliament would change their URL structure, we would need to change it only once, here in the template.Leochato (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:09, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the whole point of this template, and the many others like it, are that a single change to the template can fix problems across many articles. I've dropped a welcome template on your page, and if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch! NiciVampireHeart 19:33, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
