Place the most recent terms at the top. When both a start and an end term are given, you can instead specify the complete term using the parameters |term=, |term2=, etc., as is done with |term3= in the example below. This can be helpful with complicated terms that cannot be given as simple starting or ending dates, or if you prefer something other than the default term separator (an en dash, with spaces around it if the start or end is not a simple integer date).

Where a politician is redistricted into a new district, use |prior_term= to indicate the previous district(s). This saves space in the infobox by not generating a completely new office each time redistricting happens. If you do this, it is recommended that you list the predecessor before the subject first took office and the successor after the subject last left office. If more complete documentation of the districts is desired, it can be done with succession boxes at the end of the article.
