Template talk:Infobox baseball biography

Edit request 7 September 2025

Description of suggested change: Since many foreign and minor league players have BaseballRef stats, this expands the if conditional expression for the baseball_ref parameter so that if there is no baseballref page in the WikiData for the subject's major league stats (attribute P1825) and there is a page for the subject's foreign or minor league stats (attribute P1826), the template will add the link to the latter. If both exist, then it should only use the former. I have edited the sandbox to reflect my proposed change.

Code was added to allow for Baseball-Reference.com links to the player's profile when they only use WikiData property P1826, Baseball Reference minor & foreign league player ID instead of the usual Property P1825, Baseball Reference major league player ID. But the link structure this uses is either wrong or has recently changed on BRef. For example, for Munetaka Murakami:

• Working URL on the website is https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=muraka000mun
• Template currently renders as non-working https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=muraka000mun.shtml

Fix should be as follows:

−

| {{#if:{{#property:P1825}} | '''[https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/{{#property:P1825}}.shtml Stats] at [[Baseball Reference]]'''{{EditAtWikidata|nbsp=y|pid=P1825}} | {{#if:{{#property:P1826}} | '''[https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id={{#property:P1826}}.shtml Stats] at [[Baseball Reference]]'''{{EditAtWikidata|nbsp=y|pid=P1826}}}}}}}}

+

| {{#if:{{#property:P1825}} | '''[https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/{{#property:P1825}}.shtml Stats] at [[Baseball Reference]]'''{{EditAtWikidata|nbsp=y|pid=P1825}} | {{#if:{{#property:P1826}} | '''[https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id={{#property:P1826}} Stats] at [[Baseball Reference]]'''{{EditAtWikidata|nbsp=y|pid=P1826}}}}}}}}

I've tested the above change using Special:ExpandTemplates and it works exactly as intended -- Murakami's link comes through correctly. Flagged at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball/Archive 53#Baseball ref links broken. Thanks, Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 22:08, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

• Note that this applies only to minor or foreign league stats only. Major Leaguers need the .shtml.
  • https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brocklo01.shtml works, but
  • https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/brocklo01 does not work.

  • Yes, a very important point -- the P1825 part needs to remain as is. It's only the P1826 that needs to change. Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 00:11, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
