Template:Cricinfo
This template uses Lua: |
Template:Cricinfo displays an external link to an ESPNcricinfo web page. Links to cricket player profiles are created with the "id" parameter and links to other pages are created with the "ref" parameter. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.
For players, the "id" value should be added to the ESPNcricinfo.com player ID (P2697) property in Wikidata. Then, if the "id" or "ref" parameters are not specified, the template will retrieve the id from Wikidata. Discrepancies between a specified "id" parameter and the Wikidata property are reported at Category:Cricinfo maintenance.
