Where does this go in an article?

I have seen this template all over the place on articles. I have seen it in the sources. I have seen it underneath the successionbox and I have also seen it at the absolute bottom of the page. Where does this belong. Thanks in advanced. --Jamo58 (talk) 05:29, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

I agree. There needs to be clear guidance on where this template is placed. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 14:40, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Hidden link

I think it's this template but there's a hidden link around somewhere that's incorrectly linking to ''Biographical Directory of the United States Congress'' (with the tick marks in it) instead of it without the ticks. See this page. It's showing up as over 3,000 incoming links at WantedPages. The agency link isn't supposed to be italicized as it is used. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 09:10, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Would someone be willing to test removing the layer of translucation and just copying the contents of template:Include-USGov in here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:37, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Change "Biographical Directory of the United States Congress" to italics to match the Wikipedia article's title, per MOS:MAJORWORK. DocWatson42 (talk) 14:14, 7 August 2021 (UTC)

Add back italics without wiki-linking the agency (like so). Woko Sapien (talk) 17:18, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

This template was misusing the |agency= parameter. I have fixed it to use |title=, per the documentation of the underlying template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:23, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
