Yes, the whole collection of current MPs has been uploaded as of this
afternoon. I noticed that some current MPs have no photograph released
so far, such as Dame Rosie Winterton. If someone pings me, I can run
an update very easily, so long as the site does not change its layout.
A few were loaded locally to the English Wikipedia by other people.
Where local versions are being used in articles, I recommend these are
swapped to Commons, to encourage articles in other languages to use
them. At some point I guess the portrait photos will be sucked into
Wikidata, which may enable auto-illustrated infoboxes... ;-)
Thanks,
Fae
