Template:Uses Wikidata Template:Tracks Wikidata
Template:Cricinfo displays an external link to an ESPNcricinfo web page. Links to cricket player profiles are created with the "id" parameter and links to other pages are created with the "ref" parameter. This id value should be added to the ESPNcricinfo player ID property in Wikidata. If this is done, then no id or ref parameters are needed to be used as the template will automatically retrieve the id value from Wikidata. However, if the id or ref is specified, then that value is used in preference to the Wikidata value. Discrepancies between the id or ref values and the Wikidata values are reported at Category:Cricinfo maintenance. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.
