{{profile|}}

What you type What it looks like

{{profile|1432}}

The player number can be found by looking at the URL of the player's profile.

Example: in the forums, the URL for LyingBrian's Profile is as follows:

http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1432

The player number directly follows "u="; in this case: 1432

The template will automatically fill in the player's name based on the wiki page you place the template on.
- The template does not care about namespaces meaning the above example placed on either LyingBrian or User:LyingBrian would have the same text for the link, "LyingBrian's Profile".
- Make sure to check the player number before placing the template on a page. Putting the above example on Mr. Flay's page would create a link, "Mr. Flay's Profile, but would link to LyingBrian's Profile.
