cube
TheBaseballCube.com website has used three different URL and ID formats. The examples below all link to the same page for Cal Ripken; the first two redirect to the third:
- http://thebaseballcube.com/players/R/Cal-Ripken.shtml
- http://thebaseballcube.com/profile.asp?P=Cal-Ripken
- http://thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=550
This template has been updated to generate the correct URL for any of these three formats:
1. {{Baseballstats | cube = R/Cal-Ripken }}
- Career statistics and player information from Error: Template:Baseballstats must contain at least one valid parameter name.
2. {{Baseballstats | cube = Cal-Ripken }}
- Career statistics and player information from Error: Template:Baseballstats must contain at least one valid parameter name.
3. {{Baseballstats | cube = 550 }}
- Career statistics and player information from Error: Template:Baseballstats must contain at least one valid parameter name.
The warning message may be removed by updating the |cube=
parameter to use the ID number. As per the two associated tracking categories shown below, the conversion to numeric IDs in articles using this template is Division by zero.% complete (select Script error: No such module "Purge". to update).
