<!--Categories where indicated at the bottom of this page; interwikis at Wikidata (see [[Wikipedia:Wikidata]])-->

This template is for generating links to profiles of individual developers (people, not companies) at the [[MobyGames]] website. Please only add it in instances where it provides additional or strongly-supporting information to the article.

== Usage ==
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |id= |name= <nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

'''Fields''':
* ''id'': the MobyGames catalogue number for the developer (internal to MobyGames, but used in their URLs). The Wikidata property {{Prop|3913}} will be used by default.
* ''name'': the text of the link. The pagename is used if it's left blank or omitted.
The MobyGames developer catalogue number is the number near the end of the URL of the profile page e.g. http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,817/ is the URL for [[John Romero]]'s profile; his MobyGames catalogue number is 817.  Use this number in the ''id'' field of the template.

== Examples ==
<code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} |id=817 |name=John Romero's profile<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

renders as:

*{{ {{BASEPAGENAME}} |id=817 |name=John Romero's profile}}

Alternative, using positional parameters:

<code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|817|John Romero's profile<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

renders as:

* {{ {{BASEPAGENAME}}|817|John Romero's profile}}

Alternatively, because John Romero has his developer ID set in Wikidata (at {{Q|280045}}), on his article page we can just use:

<code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
