This is a template to generate links to the [[Google Play]] marketplace (formerly the Android Marketplace).
== Usage ==

=== Usage ===
:1. Go to the app's Google Play Page.
:2. Copy only the words after the id parameter in the URL query string. Ignore the parameters after the id parameter as well as the fragment or named anchor.
:3. The page URL should look like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX&feature=nav_result#?t=1234567, where "XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX" indicates the id parameter.
:4. Add to the external links section the text:<br/><nowiki>{{Google Play|XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX|Name}}</nowiki><br/>where "XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX" is the id you've copied, and "Name" is the name of the Android application.

=== Example ===
#Search the Google Play marketplace at play.google.com for "Facebook" and click on the Facebook app. You'll get to this page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.katana&feature=nav_result#?t=1234567
#Copy "com.facebook.katana" and then add this number as parameter to the Google Play template:
::<nowiki>{{Google Play|com.facebook.katana}}</nowiki>
The result on the page Alpha Dog is:
::{{Google Play|com.facebook.katana|Facebook}}.

Typically this is a list item in the external links section (even if there is only one link), so you should add "*" in front.

This is a template to generate links to the Google Play marketplace (formerly the Android Marketplace).

Usage

1. Go to the app's Google Play Page.
2. Copy only the words after the id parameter in the URL query string. Ignore the parameters after the id parameter as well as the fragment or named anchor.
3. The page URL should look like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX&feature=nav_result#?t=1234567, where "XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX" indicates the id parameter.
4. Add to the external links section the text:
{{Google Play|XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX|Name}}
where "XXX.XXXXXX.XXXXX" is the id you've copied, and "Name" is the name of the Android application.

Example

  1. Search the Google Play marketplace at play.google.com for "Facebook" and click on the Facebook app. You'll get to this page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.katana&feature=nav_result#?t=1234567
  2. Copy "com.facebook.katana" and then add this number as parameter to the Google Play template:
{{Google Play|com.facebook.katana}}

The result on the page Alpha Dog is:

Facebook on Google Play.

Typically this is a list item in the external links section (even if there is only one link), so you should add "*" in front.
