Usage

Unnamed parameters:

• {{Sherdog|ID}}
• {{Sherdog|ID|NAME}}

Named parameters:

• {{Sherdog|id= ID}}
• {{Sherdog|id= ID|name= NAME}}

• {{Sherdog}}
• {{Sherdog|name= NAME}}

Instructions

1. Go to http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp and search for the fighter you're looking for
2. The page URL should look like http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=###, where "###" indicates a number.
3. Copy ONLY that number
4. add the number to the Wikidata item for the fighter, using P2818
5. Add to the external links section the text:

{{Sherdog}}

Alternative method

1. Add to the external links section the text:

{{Sherdog|id=###|name=XXX}}, where "###" is the number you've copied and "XXX" is the fighter's name.

Optionally, you can leave out name=XXX and the template will use the page's name for the name, i.e. {{Sherdog|id=###}}.

Example

1. Searching for first name "Randy" and last name "Couture", you'll get to this page: http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?FighterID=166
2. Copy "166" and then write:

{{Sherdog|id=166|name=Randy Couture}}

The result is Professional MMA record for Randy Couture from Sherdog

Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
