Named parameters:

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

Using Wikidata property (P2818):

{{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.
