 | The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to Facebook unless the profile is an official account, "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article" and when the links to Facebook "provide the reader with unique content and are not prominently linked from other official websites". Wikipedia is not a directory for helping Facebook users find pages on Facebook. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
 | This template is used on approximately 15,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Template:Facebook displays an external link to a page at Facebook, a social networking website. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.
Usage
- Unnamed parameters
{{Facebook | user name or number }}{{Facebook | user name or number | Displayed Name }}
- Named parameters
{{Facebook | id= user name or number }}{{Facebook | id= user name or number | name= Displayed Name }}
- Using Wikidata property
{{Facebook}}{{Facebook | name= Displayed Name }}
Examples
Linking to a profile or page
In this example, the Facebook user name is zuck and the link text is Mark Zuckerberg:
- https://www.facebook.com/zuck
* {{Facebook | zuck | Mark Zuckerberg }}
In this example, there is a Facebook user number instead of a user name:
- https://www.facebook.com/4
* {{Facebook |id= 4 |name= Mark Zuckerberg }}
On the article about an individual, the display name and the article title will usually be identical and can be omitted. For example, on the article page Facebook, linking to their own Facebook profile could be done with:
Linking to a specific section
Links to specific sections on a Facebook page used to include the '=' symbol in the URL but no longer need to. Because '=' is a special character in Wikipedia template syntax (which separates a parameter's name from its value), it cannot be used directly in the id. If you want the link to arrive at a specific section, use the newer URL syntax, for example to link directly to the Photos section of a profile, add /photos to the username:
- https://www.facebook.com/zuck/photos
* {{Facebook|zuck/photos|name=Mark Zuckerberg}}
Using Wikidata
Generally, Wikidata should contain article subjects' Facebook IDs in property Facebook username (P2013), allowing the ID parameter to be omitted:
* {{Facebook}}* {{Facebook |name=NAME }}
If the Wikidata property is not defined, the output is:
- {{Facebook}} template missing ID and not present in Wikidata.
TemplateData
TemplateData for Facebook
Generate a link to a Facebook profile in a standard format.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Account ID | id 1 | ID of the Facebook account (part of the web page address, for www.facebook.com/example/ the account id is "example"). This parameter is optional if Wikidata property P2013 exists, but required if not.
| Line | optional |
| Display name | name 2 | Display name for the Facebook account
| Line | optional |
Tracking category
- Category:Facebook ID different from Wikidata (892) – comparison is case insensitive, so zuck matches Zuck
- Category:Facebook ID not in Wikidata (5,025)
- Category:Facebook template missing ID and not in Wikidata (1)
- Category:Pages using Facebook with unknown parameters (0)
See also
- {{Facebook page}} which uses Wikidata property Facebook page ID (P4003)
- Wikipedia:FACEBOOK
- {{Facebook navbox}}
