Proposed state:

;Explanation
The change will import fighters Sherdog ID from wikidata, unless it was hardcoded in the article itself. Here are two example for the functionality of  for a fighter without a Sherdog ID on Wikidata and another with one.
:; With Sherdog ID — Marvin Vettori
:::
:::
:; Without Sherdog ID — Ariane Carnelossi

Nothing changes in the template and its usage. There is full backwards compatibility to existing articles. The only change is that IF there is, or will be, an article without a hardcoded Sherdog ID, but with the ID apearing on Wikidata, than the information will show on Wikipedia as well.
The same format could (and I think, should) be used for  and , for example. Deancarmeli (talk) 11:51, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: This is a GIGO issue, but since there isn't anything in the documentation specifically prohibiting refs or otherwise indicating that these values should only be numerical, I have gone ahead and added _ref parameters for each of the boxing terms (in this particular instance, the article in question now uses ).

text: Does anyone object to removing that code so we can have both "nickname" and "other name" fields in the same infobox?--Killashaw (talk) 20:15, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not about removing code. Currently the two parameters allow one to choose a label between "Other names" & "Nickname(s)". To allow both, you'd have to "push down" labels, data & classes 5 to 37 and create a new label5 & data5. CLalgo (talk) 08:31, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
