Finding the ID
ID is a numerical value given in the html source of the Britannica article in question. , it can be seen at  around line 65 (or just use  +, and type in "topicId"). Two ways of viewing the source code on a computer are as follows: See for example How to view the HTML source code of a web page if you need help with this. The source of https://www.britannica.com/science/pancreas says  so it would use:
 * Press +  on your computer's keyboard.
 * Right-click a blank part of the web page and select View page source from the pop-up menu that appears.

Resulting output
It produces a link with the url https://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/440971/pancreas. It currently redirects to https://www.britannica.com/science/pancreas but that url may be less stable and cannot be produced by this template. When the template was originally made, britannica.com included the ID in the normal url.

TITLE provides an optional title for the link in place of the name of the Wikipedia article, in case the Britannica article has a different name for some reason (i.e. a Latin rather than a common name): For example, the Wikipedia article for the common Daffodil is titled Narcissus pseudonarcissus, while Britannica uses Daffodil and says  in the source. As such, the link would be formatted as follows:

AUTHOR adds an optional author at the beginning of the output.
