[edit] Usage

Using this template is pretty easy. Just insert this text into the External links section of a video game publisher, video game developer or video game designer article:

{{WoS pub|id=<id>|name=<name>}}

and replace <id> with the URL after "http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekpub.cgi?regexp=". For example, if the World of Spectrum URL was:

http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekpub.cgi?regexp=^Quicksilva+Ltd$

then just "^Quicksilva+Ltd$" (without the double quotes) would replace <id>. Since the search is actually based on regular expression, you only need to supply enough to make the search unique. For the example above you could do with only "^Quicksilva" or even "^Quicks". Bear in mind that the results for such a short-search might change with time.

For <name> insert the name of the publisher/developer/designer (the default is to use the pagename). For example:

{{WoS pub|id=^Quicksilva+Ltd$|name=Quicksilva}}

would give you this:

Quicksilva at World of Spectrum
