Template talk:Moby developer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is for generating links to MobyGames developer profiles

Fields:

• id: the MobyGames catalogue number for the developer (internal to MobyGames, but used in their URLs)
• name: the text of the link

The MobyGames developer catalogue number is the number near the end of the URL of the profile page e.g.:http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,817/ is the URL for John Romero's profile; his MobyGames catalogue number is 817. Use this number in the id field of the template.

{{moby developer |id=817 |name=John Romero's profile}}

renders as:

John Romero's profile at MobyGames

template:moby game for game entries to MobyGames

[edit] How about adding "profile"

I think this template is very valuable and I use it often. To make it even more useful, how about adding the word "profile" to it? So instead of writing "John Romero's profile" for the name parameter, we could just write "John Romero" and have the template add in "'s profile". About 80 articles use the template, so it wouldn't be too big a deal to fix them all. What does everyone else think? — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:58, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
