Template:LFP is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{ edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories. Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

{{lfpfr|id=103708|name=Patrice Evra}} Remove id and use name to produce http://www.lfp.fr/joueur/evra-patrice -- Magioladitis ( talk) 09:23, 21 November 2010 (UTC) reply

• New format is http://www.lfp.fr/joueur/SURNAME-NAME
• I suggest we make two new parameters |first=, |last= (first=name, last=surname)
• Take |name= from old template and break it into two parts part 1 = name, part 2 = surname
• Remove old |id= and |name= -- Magioladitis ( talk) 11:25, 21 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Colud also have numbered params as well as first & last, so that {{ lfpfr|Patrice|Evra}} would work as well. -- WOSlinker ( talk) 08:00, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

There's now a version in the sandbox. -- WOSlinker ( talk) 08:05, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

The template need manual fix. Please use Template:lfpfr2 and clean up this template. No one know which one is fixed and which one is not if the fixed one still use this template. Matthew_hk t c 16:41, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

We can run a bot and make a tracking category for templates still having the |id=. I can make the bot run as soon as WOSlinker prepares the rest. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 18:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

I've updated it to work with both old & new formats, so all that would be needed is a tracking category to keep a record of those that need updating. -- WOSlinker ( talk) 18:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Code	Output
{{lfpfr|Patrice|Evra}}	Evra – French league stats at LFP – also available in French (archived)
{{lfpfr|first=Patrice|last=Evra}}	{{ LFP}} template missing ID and not present in Wikidata.
{{lfpfr|id=evra-patrice|name=Patrice Evra}}	Patrice Evra – French league stats at LFP – also available in French (archived)

Great work. Tell me what I have to do. Just remove id? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 18:53, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

I've copied over the sandbox into live now. So need to use {{lfpfr/sandbox|Firstname|Lastname}} format now -- WOSlinker ( talk) 19:11, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Some people were already using the id param, thus: id=evra-patrice , so I've added support for that as well now. -- WOSlinker ( talk) 19:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC) reply

What action must be done by me then? How do I clean Category:Articles using Template:Lfpfr with old parameters? -- Magioladitis ( talk) 11:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Heres a couple of examples: [1], [2] -- WOSlinker ( talk) 11:49, 24 November 2010 (UTC) reply

Some Brazilian still unable to use a bot. And seems LFP itself had some problem, likes L.Robert had two entry. Matthew_hk t c 19:17, 24 November 2010 (UTC) reply

I tried changing about 5 of these and the new links failed. Rich  Farmbrough, 01:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC). reply

Here's another oddity: http://www.lfp.fr/joueur/guie-guie-gneki-abraham ... Rich  Farmbrough, 20:49, 4 December 2010 (UTC). reply

Fixed by using the id & name params instead. See [3] -- WOSlinker ( talk) 20:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC) reply

When I click a link, that goes to the supposedly correct link eg http://www.ligue1.com/joueur/cisse-ibrahim, I get the message "You do not have permission to view this directory or page.". The same goes for other links.-- Auric talk 15:19, 29 May 2020 (UTC) reply

I have updated the sandbox, but the examples I have tried keep coming back "Non défini". Can you give some examples that work? — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 20:55, 14 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Some relevant posts at wikidata:Property_talk:P3683#New_URL_with_different_ID — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 20:58, 14 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Agree that this needs to be fixed as noted here and in the previous talk page section; however, not convinced that this is the correct link format. For one thing, when I tried to find "Ibrahim Cisse" (from the above section), the format https://www.ligue1.com/player?id=cisse-ibrahim doesn't work. It does work if the given name and surname are reversed, as in https://www.ligue1.com/player?id=ibrahim-cisse, so it looks like the ligue1 website has completely altered their id format. If we can fix this, then we should, because a lot of reader links have broken. Then the Wikidata crew can catch up later. I just wish I knew how to fix it properly! Will keep looking into it.

If it was just a case of changing XXXXX-YYYYY into YYYYY-XXXXX then it would be very easy. But I'm sure it's not as simple as that! — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 15:09, 15 May 2023 (UTC) reply

Meanwhile, editors might look into two other templates that are linked in the [See also] section, {{ LFP Ligue 1}} and {{ LFP Ligue 2}}. They might be a partial or even full solution to all this. P.I. Ellsworth ,  ed.  ^{put'er there}  14:52, 15 May 2023 (UTC) reply

 Not done for now: Doesn't appear to be the correct fix. Izno ( talk) 21:58, 18 May 2023 (UTC) reply
