Usage

Unnamed parameters

{{DriverDB driver | ID }}

{{DriverDB driver | ID | NAME }}

Named parameters

{{DriverDB driver | id= ID }}

{{DriverDB driver | id= ID | name= NAME }}

Using Wikidata property

{{DriverDB driver}}

{{DriverDB driver | name= NAME }}

First parameter is the driver's ID as it appears in the DriverDB.com url, e.g. michael-schumacher in https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/michael-schumacher/. Note that the ID of the driver (as used on DriverDB.com) can also be used. For example, 1 in https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/1/ will also link to Michael Schumacher's page at DriverDB.com.

Second parameter is the driver's name as it should appear in the visible text of the link, e.g. "John Taylor" from the article John Taylor (racing driver). If not supplied it defaults to the article title, without any disambiguation such as (racing driver).

The first parameter is required unless the driver's ID is in Wikidata. The second parameter is not needed if the article title is the actual driver's name.
