Template:Facebook/doc

It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

Usage

 * Unnamed parameters


 * Named parameters


 * Using Wikidata property 

Linking to a profile or page
In this example, the Facebook user name is zuck and the link text is Mark Zuckerberg:


 * https:// www.facebook.com/

In this example, there is a Facebook user number instead of a user name:


 * https:// www.facebook.com/

On the article about an individual, the display name and the article title will usually be identical and can be omitted. For example, on the article page Facebook, linking to their own Facebook profile could be done with:


 * https:// www.facebook.com/

Linking to a specific section
Links to specific sections on a Facebook page used to include the '=' symbol in the URL but no longer need to. Because '=' is a special character in Wikipedia template syntax (which separates a parameter's name from its value), it cannot be used directly in the id. If you want the link to arrive at a specific section, use the newer URL syntax, for example to link directly to the Photos section of a profile, add  to the username:


 * https:// www.facebook.com/

Using Wikidata
Generally, Wikidata should contain article subjects' Facebook IDs in property, allowing the ID parameter to be omitted:

If the Wikidata property is not defined, the output is:

TemplateData
{   "description": "Generate a link to a Facebook profile in a standard format.", "params": { "id": { "label": "Account ID", "aliases": ["1"], "description": "ID of the Facebook account (part of the web page address, for www.facebook.com/example/ the account id is \"example\"). This parameter is optional if Wikidata property P2013 exists, but required if not.", "default": "Wikidata property P2013", "example": "zuck", "type": "string/line", "required": false },       "name": { "label": "Display name", "aliases": ["2"], "description": "Display name for the Facebook account", "default": "Name of the page", "example": "Mark Zuckerberg", "type": "string/line", "required": false }   } }

Tracking category

 * – comparison is case insensitive, so zuck matches Zuck
