I have modified the Template:Cricinfo/sandbox to use, and check, the wikidata item. At the moment, it still uses the ID or ref field if it is set in the template, so for most articles there is absolutely no change. However, in the future, you could just use {{Cricinfo}} without any parameters and it will retrieve and use the ESPNcricinfo player ID parameter from WikiData. I've also expanded the Category:Cricinfo maintenance to capture if the specified id or ref is different to the WikiData property, and if the WikiData property is missing. Because it needs a live WikiData item link to work, I've trialed the use of the parameter-less sandbox template in Tim Zoehrer, as well as checking that the id and ref versions also both work. I'll wait a day or two to see if there are any issues, and then I'll integrate it into the main template. If any experienced template editors think it's OK to go now, then I'm happy for them to do the edit. The-Pope (talk) 09:27, 12 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Done And yes, a {{cite web}} wrapper would probably make sense, if someone wants to write that. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Not done There seem to be two different styles of ID, one that is all-numeric and works with the "ci/content/player" URLs, and one that contains the player's name and works with the /player URLs. Instead of switching this template from one form to the other and breaking uses, I've updated B. Jayaram to use the all-numeric form and it's URL (https://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/29758.html) now works. * Pppery *it has begun... 23:55, 27 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Done & Tim Zoehrer reverted to {{Cricinfo}}. Please update the documentation. Cabayi (talk) 14:25, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
