{{info|1=This template is intended for [[Wikipedia:External links|external links]]. It is not designed for use as a [[Wikipedia:Citation templates|citation template]] for reliable sources.}}

'''{{NAMESPACE}}:{{BASEPAGENAME}}''' generates an external link to a topic page at ''[[The Guardian]]'' website. It is intended for use in the [[Wikipedia:External links|external links]] section of an article.

== Usage ==
; Unnamed parameters
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> }}</code>
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> | <var>NAME</var> }}</code>

; Named parameters
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id= <var>ID</var> }}</code>
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id= <var>ID</var> | name= <var>NAME</var> }}</code>

; Using [[Wikidata]] property {{Wikidata property link|P3106}}
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | name= <var>NAME</var> <nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

== Instructions ==
Provide the [[URL]] path (after the first level) as the first parameter, and an optional name as the second parameter. If no ID is provided, the template will attempt to fetch the value from [[Wikidata]]. If no name is provided for the second parameter, the template will use the name of the Wikipedia article.

== Examples ==

=== One parameter ===
; URL
: <code>[https://www.theguardian.com/music/aretha-franklin https://www.theguardian.com/{{highlight|music/aretha-franklin}}]</code>

; Usage
: <code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | music/aretha-franklin <nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
: <code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id= music/aretha-franklin <nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

; Output
:* {{{{BASEPAGENAME}} | music/aretha-franklin }}

=== Two parameters ===
; URL
: <code>[https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/bill-gates https://www.theguardian.com/{{highlight|us-news/bill-gates}}]</code>

; Usage
: <code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | us-news/bill-gates | Bill Gates <nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
: <code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id= us-news/bill-gates | name= Bill Gates <nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

; Output
:* {{{{BASEPAGENAME}} | us-news/bill-gates | Bill Gates }}

=== No ID in template or Wikidata ===
; Usage
: <code><nowiki>* {{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

; Output
:* {{ {{BASEPAGENAME}} }}
