6. Add to the external links section the text:

{{npg name|id=#######|name=Name}}

where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name

[edit] Example

1. Searching for "Harold Wilson", you'll reach this page: http://www.npg.org.uk/live/search/portList.asp?search=sp&sText=Harold+Wilson
2. Click on the link for the first picture
3. Below the thumbnail picture, you will see the hyperlinked text:

Sitter: (James) Harold Wilson, Baron Wilson of Rievaulx (1916-1995), Prime Minister.

1. Click on the link
2. From the URL of the page displayed,
3. Copy "04868" and then write:

{{npg name|id=04868|name=Harold Wilson}}

The result is Portraits of Harold Wilson at the National Portrait Gallery, London

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.
