Template:MileSplit/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The MileSplit template is designed to give standardised external links to athlete biographies on the MileSplit statistics website. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

Usage

[edit]

The template has two input fields:

{{MileSplit|id=ID|name=NAME}}
{{MileSplit|ID|NAME}}
  • The id parameter (or unnamed parameter 1) should contain the number found in the target athlete biography URL. It is optional if Wikidata property P9508 exists, but required if not. Omit the ID to use the Wikidata property.
  • The name parameter (or unnamed parameter 2) is optional and changes the output text for the athlete's name. This defaults to the article name (minus any disambiguation handles in parentheses).
