Template talk:Sherdog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a template to generate links to Sherdog.com's Fight Finder. This template should be used exclusively for professional MMA fighters.

(This template heavily cribbed from {{imdb title}}. Thanks dudes! hateless 22:51, 25 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Instructions

1. Go to http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp and search for the fighter you're looking for
2. The page URL should look like http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=###, where "###" indicates a number.
3. Copy ONLY that number
4. Add to the external links section the text:

{{Sherdog|id=###|name=XXX}}, where "###" is the number you've copied and "XXX" is the fighter's name.

Optionally, you can leave out name=XXX and the template will use the page's name for the name, ie {{Sherdog|id=###}}.

[edit] Example

1. Searching for first name "Randy" and last name "Couture", you'll get to this page: http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=166
2. Copy "166" and then write:

{{Sherdog|id=166|name=Randy Couture}}

The result is Professional MMA record for Randy Couture from Sherdog.com

Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
