Usage

Unnamed parameters

{{WBF Master Points|ID}}

{{WBF Master Points|ID|NAME}}

{{WBF Master Points|ID|NAME|ACCESS DATE}}

Named parameters

{{WBF Master Points|id=ID}}

{{WBF Master Points|id=ID|name=NAME}}

{{WBF Master Points|id=ID|name=NAME|access-date=ACCESS DATE}}

Parameters

1. |id=

   The ID number in the URL, such as 20280 in http://www.wbfmasterpoints.com/playerdetail.asp?Code=20280. This parameter is required.

2. |name=

   The link text, which should be the name of the athlete. This parameter is optional when the template is used in the player's Wikipedia article; it defaults to the article name, without any disambiguation such as "(bridge)". It should be provided if the template is used other articles.

3. |access-date=

   The "access-date" parameter (or unnamed parameter "3") is for use in references.

How to find the "id"

One of the following methods may be used to find a player's WBF page and determine the id number:

1. Go to the wbfmasterpoints.com website and search for the player.
2. Use a web search engine such as Google or Bing (examples for Rixi Markus):

   Google search: Rixi Markus site:wbfmasterpoints.com

   Bing search: Rixi Markus site:wbfmasterpoints.com

The id number for the person can be seen at the end of the URL, such as 20280:

http://www.wbfmasterpoints.com/playerdetail.asp?Code=20280

Examples

External link

When only the first unnamed parameter (or "id") is used, the link text includes the article name.

* {{WBF Master Points | 20280 }}

* {{WBF Master Points |id= 20277 }}

When the article name is different than the player's name, the second unnamed parameter (or "name") should be included.

* {{WBF Master Points | 20280 | Rixi Markus }}

* {{WBF Master Points |id= 20277 |name= Charles Goren }}

Citation

When the template is being used as a citation, the third unnamed parameter (or "accessdate" or "access-date") should be included.

{{WBF Master Points | 20280 | Rixi Markus | September 14, 2012 }}

{{WBF Master Points |id= 20277 |name= Charles Goren |accessdate= 29 December 2016 }}

{{WBF Master Points |id= 20277 |name= Charles Goren |access-date= 2016-12-29 }}

When no parameters are included, the template will display an error message.
