Module:EditAtWikidata (sandbox)

Template:AFL Tables displays a uniformly formatted external link to an Australian Football League (AFL) player's profile page on the AFL Tables website. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

Usage

Unnamed parameters: {{AFL Tables | ID }}; {{AFL Tables | ID | NAME }}

Named parameters (id, name): {{AFL Tables | id= ID }}; {{AFL Tables | id= ID | name= NAME }}

Named parameters (ref, alt): {{AFL Tables | ref= ID }}; {{AFL Tables | ref= ID | alt= NAME }}

Using Wikidata property: {{AFL Tables}}; {{AFL Tables | name= NAME }}; {{AFL Tables | alt= NAME }}

Parameters

The first parameter ("id" or "ref") is the exact folder and page name used in the URL at the AFL Tables website. This is in the form of FirstInitial/FirstName_LastName, such as B/Brendan_Fevola for http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/B/Brendan_Fevola.html. Where multiple players have the same name, the usual system is to add a number, such as N/Nathan_Brown0, N/Nathan_Brown1, or N/Nathan_Brown2.

The second parameter ("name" or "alt") is an optional alternative parameter to specify a player's name. If not given it defaults to the Wikipedia article name, without any disambiguation such as (footballer). This parameter is only needed if you want to display text other than the article name.
