Optional: id or link parameters

This parameter may be used specify the portion of the URL specific to an individual player, such as tom-jonas in http://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/player-profile/tom-jonas. It defaults to the Wikipedia article name, without any disambiguation such as "(footballer)", converted to lower case and with a hyphen added after the first word. If used in the article for Tom Jonas, the default value is tom-jonas (which is correct, therefore this parameter would be optional). If used in the article for Cam Ellis-Yolmen, the default value is cam-ellis-yolmen (which is not correct, so the template must be called with |id=cameron-ellisyolmen or |link=cameron-ellisyolmen).

Optional: name or alt parameters

This parameter may be used to specify the anchor text used for the external link, which should be the name of the player. It defaults to the Wikipedia article name, without any disambiguation such as "(footballer)". If used in an article named "Tom Jonas (footballer)", the default would be Tom Jonas. This parameter is always optional unless the anchor text should be different than the article name. For example, in the article "Cam Ellis-Yolmen" the template could be called with |name=Cameron Ellis-Yolmen or |alt=Cameron Ellis-Yolmen.
