Template:Imdb title
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imdb title at the Internet Movie Database
This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database. This template should be used exclusively for TITLES, that is, movies, tv series, games and etc.
If you need to link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use Template:imdb name instead.
Instructions
- Go to imdb.com and search for the title you want
- Click on the correct link to go to the movie's page (or whatever you're looking for). Be sure you're getting on the correct title page.
- The page URL should look like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
- Copy ONLY that number (be sure to remove the "tt" and to keep all the zeros)
- Add to the external links section the text:
- {{imdb title|id=#######|title=Title}}
- where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show.
- (Optional) If you want to add an additional description to distinguish this film/show from another that may be on the same page with the same name, use the following text:
- {{imdb title|id=#######|title=Title|description=Description}}
- where "#######" is the number you've copied, "Title" is the title of the movie or show, and "Description" is the description of the show, in parentheses.
Example
- Searching for "Beetle Juice", you'll get to this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094721/
- Copy "0094721" and then write:
- {{imdb title|id=0094721|title=Beetle Juice}}
The result is Beetle Juice at the Internet Movie Database
Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.

2nd example
- Searching for the 1993 remake of the TV series "Route 66", you'll get to this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106117/
- Copy "0106117" and then write:
- {{imdb title|id=0106117|title=Route 66|description=(1993)}}
The result is Route 66 (1993) at the Internet Movie Database
