[edit] Instructions
- Go to the Scottish Football Association National Team Archive and search for the person you want
- Click on the correct link to go to the person's page. Be sure you're getting the right person
- The page URL should look like http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/player_details.cfm?playerid=#####&CFID=#######&CFTOKEN=########, where "#####" indicates a number.
- Copy ONLY the number immediately after "playerid="
- Add to the external links section the text:
-
- {{SFA Profile|id=#####|name=Name}}
- where "#####" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name (name is only necessary if the name of the article is different from the name which should be displayed, for example if the article name contains "(footballer)")
[edit] Example
- Searching for "George Young", you'll reach this page: http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/player_details.cfm?playerid=113405&CFID=1915154&CFTOKEN=55620053
- Copy "113405" and then write: {{SFA Profile|id=113405|name=George Young}}
The result is George Young profile at scottishfa.co.uk
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. WATP (talk) • (contribs) 21:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
