Both name and id fields are required, even though going to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?Colin%20Kapp redirects to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?Colin_Kapp, because if a space is used in the template, [http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?Colin Kapp Colin Kapp] becomes Kapp Colin Kapp. I'm asking on the Wikipedia helpdesk. grendel|khan 13:25, 2005 Mar 4 (UTC)
The name and id fields are no longer required when the pagename is the target. See Colin Kapp for an example, again. Since the canonical ISFDB name is Colin Kapp as well, the template is simply invoked as ((isfdb name)). The template is, of course, backwards-compatible, and parameters may be filled in where they are needed---for instance, for a disambiguated author's name such as John Brunner (novelist) would have to use the full template invocation. grendel|khan 16:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Something's wrong. The link on Colin Kapp reads "Kapp Colin Kapp at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database", and links to http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?Colin . Checking further,

Can the current code:
[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?(({1|(({id|((PAGENAMEE)))))))) (({2|(({name|((PAGENAME))))))))] at the [[Internet Speculative Fiction Database]]
Be changed to the following:
[http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?(({1|(({id|((#if:((#property:P1233))|((#property:P1233))|((PAGENAMEE)))))))))) (({2|(({name|((PAGENAME))))))))] at the [[Internet Speculative Fiction Database]]
Which will allow this template to access the P1233 property (ISFDB author ID) on Wikidata. The template could then populate the ID from Wikidata automatically, assuming the property exists on the connected data item. If the property does not exist, then the if statement will recognise that and use the current system of substituting the page name instead. Thanks, AdamBMorgan (talk) 21:29, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
