	This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for a person in the [[IMDb\|Internet Movie Database]]. It ~~should only be used~~ in the "external links" section of an article.		This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for a person in the [[IMDb\|Internet Movie Database]]. It is intended for use in the [[Wikipedia:External links\|external links]] section of an article.

	~~The '''required'''~~ parameter is the ~~ID number. The template then uses~~ the ~~article title as~~ the [[~~anchor text~~]]:		To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter. This is necessary when adding an IMDb link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked person (for example, if you include the IMDb link for [[Bette Davis]] in the [[Joan Crawford]] article, you must specify Bette Davis's name as the text for the link).
