Usage edit

Unnamed parameters: {{AFL Tables coach | ID }}; {{AFL Tables coach | ID | NAME }}

Using Wikidata property: {{AFL Tables coach}}; {{AFL Tables coach | name= NAME }}; {{AFL Tables coach | alt= NAME }}

Parameters edit

The first parameter ("id" or "ref") is the exact folder and page name used in the URL at the AFL Tables website. This is in the form of FirstName_LastName, such as Chris_Fagan for http://afltables.com/afl/stats/coaches/Chris_Fagan.html. Where a coach has the same name as another coach or player, the usual system is to add a number, such as Don_McKenzie1.

The second parameter ("name" or "alt") is an optional alternative parameter to specify a coach's name. If not given it defaults to the Wikipedia article name, without any disambiguation such as (footballer). This parameter is only needed if you want to display text other than the article name.
