Finding the URN-ID
ID is the urn.fi value given in the article of the BLF article in question. , it can be seen at the bottom of the article. See for example Alvar Aalto. The code at the bottom of the page says URN:NBN:fi:sls-4321-1416928956927. Use the numerical id in the template.

Using the ID in the template
will produce:

The link points at http://urn.fi/URN:NBN:fi:sls-4321-1416928956927 which currently redirects to https://blf.fi/artikel.php?id=1408 - a URL and ID which in the long run will be less reliable and perhaps phased out.

Other fields in the template
TITLE provides an optional title for the link in place of the name of the Wikipedia article, in case the BLF article has a different name for some reason.

AUTHOR adds an optional author at the beginning of the output.
