4. Copy ONLY that number
5. Add to the external links section the text:

* {{EOL|#######|label}}

where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "label" is the full title of the EOL article, for example: Pogonomyrmex anergismus

Typically this is a list item in the external links section (even if there is only one link), so you should add "*" in front.
