Template:World Athletics

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:World Athletics displays an external link to an athlete's profile at the official website of World Athletics, the international governing body for the sport of athletics. It was formerly known as the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). The template is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

Usage

Unnamed parameters: {{World Athletics | ID }}; {{World Athletics | ID | NAME }}

Named parameters: {{World Athletics | id= ID }}; {{World Athletics | id= ID | name= NAME }}

Using Wikidata property: {{World Athletics}}; {{World Athletics | name= NAME }}

Using nocat parameter: The additional parameter | nocat=y may be added to exclude the page from tracking categories. For example, on the article for the year 1947, the following code could be used so that a reference to Amos Biwott's date of birth could be used without causing an alert because the Wikidata item for the page 1947 doesn't have a World Athletics identifier:; {{World Athletics | 14354711 | Amos Biwott | nocat= y }}; {{World Athletics | id= 14354711 | name= Amos Biwott | nocat= y }}

Simplified usage with Wikidata

The two pieces of information in this template can be automatically populated.

The id can be fed automatically from Wikidata if the ID field is left empty.
- If a World Athletics ID has not yet been added to the athlete's Wikidata: Click "WikiData Item" under Tools on the left menu. Under "Statements" on the Wikidata page click add and type in World Athletics ID. Enter the ID and save. This ID can now be automatically used across all Wikipedia's languages.
- After the World Athletics ID has been added to the athlete's Wikidata, placing {{World Athletics}} in the athlete's Wikipedia article will generate the link successfully.
The name will be automatically generated from the page title. Any disambiguation handles (e.g. Michael Johnson (sprinter)) will be stripped from the name automatically.

How to find the ID

To find an athlete's World Athletics profile and ID:

Go to https://worldathletics.org/athletes
Find the athlete using the web page navigation (name and/or country).
The URL of the athlete's profile will look something like this:
https://worldathletics.org/athletes/united-states/carl-lewis-14244008

The number at the end of the URL is the ID (in this case, 14244008)
Edit the article and insert the following text (assuming you are adding the link to the External links section):
* {{World Athletics|14244008}}

* {{World Athletics|id=14244008}}
The template will also accept the full ID which includes the athlete's country and name:
https://worldathletics.org/athletes/united-states/carl-lewis-14244008

* {{World Athletics|united-states/carl-lewis-14244008}}

* {{World Athletics|id=united-states/carl-lewis-14244008}}
Before saving the page, it is always a good idea to double check if the link you've created is correct by clicking on it.
