Parameters

1. |id=

   The ID number in the URL, such as 1122 in http://www.worldbridge.org/people/person.asp?qryid=1122 (archived) or http://db.worldbridge.org/Repository/peopleforscrap/person.asp?qryid=1122. This parameter is optional if Wikidata property P3172 exists, but required if not. If not provided, the template will attempt to fetch it from Wikidata.

2. |name=

   The link text, which should be the name of the athlete. This parameter is optional when the template is used in the player's Wikipedia article; it defaults to the article name, without any disambiguation such as "(bridge)". It should be provided if the template is used other articles.

3. |access-date=

   The "access-date" parameter (or unnamed parameter "3") is for use in references.

How to find the "id"

One of the following methods may be used to find a player's WBF page and determine the id number:

1. Go to the WBF People Finder at www.worldbridge.org (or the page at db.worldbridge.org) and search for the player's surname. If the surname is unknown, try different parts of the known name separately.
2. Use a web search engine such as Google or Bing (examples for Rixi Markus):

   Google search: Rixi Markus site:worldbridge.org

   Bing search: Rixi Markus site:worldbridge.org

The id number for the person can be seen at the end of the URL, such as 1122:

http://www.worldbridge.org/people/person.asp?qryid=1122 (archived)

http://db.worldbridge.org/Repository/peopleforscrap/person.asp?qryid=1122
