Usage for obsolete congressional districts

Add the following fields to use this template in articles for obsolete congressional districts.

| obsolete                   = yes
      <!--required for other fields to display properly. All other fields are optional.-->
      
| created                    = 
| eliminated                 = 
| years                      =

Notes

• Only the state and district number fields are required. All other fields are optional, and the table has logic to display the data correctly even when some fields are missing. (However, if the first field in a category is missing, all fields in that category will be assumed empty. For example, if percent blue collar is missing, any value in percent white collar will be ignored.)

• You should not include units, percent signs (%), or dollar signs ($) in your fields. These are provided for you.

• For obsolete districts, the field obsolete is required, and must be yes in order for the remainder of the fields to display. This ensures that fields unique to obsolete districts will not be displayed on existing congressional districts.
