Overleg sjabloon:Link IAAF naam

message: This is a template to generate links to athletes' sports biographies at http://www.iaaf.org, intended for use in the "External links" section of athletes' respective articles. It is derived directly from Template:Link IMDb naam, with virtually the same syntax and usage.
===Example===
Suppose you're looking for a IAAF bio page on Carl Lewis. Unfortunately, it seems that the IAAF online athlete database is currently not searchable. Still, the procedure is fairly simple:
1) Go to http://www.google.com (or some other search engine site) and type:
 "Carl Lewis" biography site:www.iaaf.org
2) Typically, the first hit displayed will correspond to the person you're looking for. Click on that link to make sure it's correct.
3) Inspect the URL; it should begin with:
 http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/athlete=XXX/
where XXX is ID number of the athlete. Note that IDs can have anywhere from 1 to 6 digits. For Carl Lewis, it's 1622.
4) Edit the article where you want the link inserted, and in the section "External links" insert the following text:
 * 
5) Save your changes. The link in the article should look like this:
* 
It is always a good idea to double check if the link you've created is correct by clicking on it.
===Remarks===
The IAAF database currently only covers athletes active from the 1980s to the present day; you won't find Emil Zátopek or Sebastian Coe. Still, it is fairly comprehensive; all notable athletes are covered, along with many non-notable ones.
Of course, the way this template looks is easily changed - that's what templates are for. If you have a suggestion for improvement, leave your comments in this talk page.

=== Naam = ... ===
Het lijkt nutteloos om een naam in te vullen bij naam=..., want automatisch wordt de paginanaam als naam aangehouden. Zie Sergej Morozov (atleet), waar het lelijke atleet er bij blijft staan. Fvlamoen 9 jun 2008 16:40 (CEST)
