"IMDB episode" at the Internet Movie Database
This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database, used exclusively for EPISODES.
- To link an episode list, use {{IMDb episodes}} instead.
- To link a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{IMDb title}} instead.
- To link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use {{IMDb name}} instead.
- To link a company, use {{IMDb company}} instead.
- To link a character, use {{IMDb character}} instead.
Options
The required parameter is just the ID number (for backward compatibility, the parameter can be named id
) and the template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
* {{IMDb episode|ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (for backward compatibility, it can be named Episode
):
* {{IMDb episode|ID|Episode}}
Note that the options include the "*" for a bulleted list since this is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.
Detailed instructions
- Copy and paste one of the options above into the article
- Go to http://www.imdb.com, select TV episode in the search drop down menu and search for the episode you want (say, One for the Road; you'll reach
http://www.imdb.com/find?s=ep&q=One+for+the+Road&x=13&y=10
) - Click on the correct One for the Road in the list:
- You then reach the page with URL looking like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0539826/ (or other 7-digit number)
- Copy only that number (here, "
0539826
"), omitting the "tt
" but keep all the leading zeros (though IMDb currently seems to be able to add them as needed) - Replace "ID" in the template code with the number
- For the first option above, you'll then have
- * {{IMDb episode|0539826}} resulting in:
- "IMDB episode" at the Internet Movie Database
- Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page "One for the Road", use the second option:
- Replace "ID" with the number and "Episode" with "One for the Road"
- * {{IMDb episode|0539826|One for the Road}} results in:
- "One for the Road" at the Internet Movie Database
- * {{IMDb episode|0539826|One for the Road}} results in:
- For the first option above, you'll then have
