Instructions[edit]
- Go to http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp and search for the fighter you're looking for
- The page URL should look like http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=###, where "###" indicates a number.
- Copy ONLY that number
- add the number to the Wikidata item for the fighter, using P2818
- Add to the external links section the text:
- {{Sherdog}}
Alternative method[edit]
- 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, i.e. {{Sherdog|id=###}}.
Example[edit]
- Searching for first name "Randy" and last name "Couture", you'll get to this page: http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=166
- Copy "166" and then write:
- {{Sherdog|id=166|name=Randy Couture}}
The result is Professional MMA record for Randy Couture from Sherdog
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.
