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.

This is a template to generate links to the [[Internet Movie Database]], '''used exclusively for ''NAMES'''''.
: ''For a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{Tl|IMDb title}}.''
: ''For a specific TV episode or Web series episode, use {{Tl|IMDb episode}}.''
: ''For an episode list, use {{Tl|IMDb episodes}}.''
: ''For a company, use {{Tl|IMDb company}}.''
: ''For an event, use {{Tl|IMDb event}}.''


:To link a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{Tl|IMDb title}} instead.
== Usage ==
:To link a specific TV episode or Web series episode, use {{Tl|IMDB episode}} instead.
If the subject of the Wikipedia article is the same as the IMDb page, only ID number is required. The template then uses the Wikipedia article name as the [[anchor text]].
:To link an episode list, use {{Tl|IMDb episodes}} instead.
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> }}
:To link a company, use {{Tl|IMDb company}} instead.
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id{{=}} <var>ID</var> }}
:To link a character, use {{Tl|IMDb character}} instead.


==Usage==
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).
{{See also|Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb}}
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> | <var>NAME</var> }}
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id{{=}} <var>ID</var> | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> }}
 
The parameter {{Para|section}} can be set to <code>award</code> (alternatively <code>awards</code>) or <code>bio</code> (alternatively <code>biography</code>) to link to the awards or biography section for that person.
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | <var>ID</var> | <var>NAME</var> | section{{=}} <var>SECTION</var> }}
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | id{{=}} <var>ID</var> | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> | section{{=}} <var>SECTION</var>}}


The '''required''' parameter is the ID number. The template then uses the article title as the [[anchor text]]:
The ID number may be omitted if the article's [[Wikidata]] item includes property {{Property|345}}.
<pre>
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
* {{IMDb name |ID}}
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> }}
* {{IMDb name | id = ID }}
* {{tlcw|{{BASEPAGENAME}} | name{{=}} <var>NAME</var> | section{{=}} <var>SECTION</var>}}
</pre>
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter:
<pre>
* {{IMDb name |ID |Name}}
* {{IMDb name | id = ID | name = Name}}
</pre>


This can be used when the Wikipedia page name contains disambiguation brackets; for example at the page [[John Smith (actor)]] use <code><nowiki>{{IMDb name|0808774|John Smith}}</nowiki></code> to have "{{IMDb name|0808774|John Smith}}" rather than "{{IMDb name|0808774|John Smith (actor)}}". This is also necessary should you need to add 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 using this option).
== Instructions and examples ==
{{See also|Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb}}


Note that the options include the "<tt>*</tt>" for a bulleted list since this is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.
# Go to [https://www.imdb.com/ IMDb.com] and search for the person you want (say, Marlon Brando; you'll reach <code>https://www.imdb.com/find?q=Marlon+Brando&s=all</code>). This can also be done on the Wikipedia page by previewing <code><nowiki>{{IMDb name}}</nowiki></code> and clicking that link ( https://www.imdb.com/find?q=Marlon+Brando&s=nm ).
# Click on the correct name in the list (for the actor [[Marlon Brando]], this will bring up the page <code>https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000008/</code>)
# Copy {{em|only}} the 7- or 8-digit number (here, "<code>0000008</code>"), omitting the "<code>nm</code>" but keep all the leading zeros.
# Replace "<code>ID</code>" in the template code with the number
## For the first option above, you'll then have
##: <code><nowiki>* {{IMDb name | 0000008 }}</nowiki></code> resulting in:
##:* {{IMDb name | 0000008 }}
##: Note that the link text is the same as the name of the Wikipedia page the template is used on; outside the page "Marlon Brando", use the second option:
## Replace "<code>ID</code>" with the number ''and'' "<code>Name</code>" with "<code>Marlon Brando</code>"
##: <code><nowiki>* {{IMDb name | 0000008 | Marlon Brando }}</nowiki></code> results in:
##:* {{IMDb name | 0000008 | Marlon Brando }}
## The parameter {{Para|section}} can be set to <code>award</code> (alternatively <code>awards</code>) or <code>bio</code> (alternatively <code>biography</code>) to link to the awards or biography section for that person.
##: <code><nowiki>* {{IMDb name | 0000008 | Marlon Brando | section= awards }}</nowiki></code> gives:
##:* {{IMDb name | 0000008 | Marlon Brando | section= awards }}
##: <code><nowiki>* {{IMDb name | 0000008 | Marlon Brando | section= bio }}</nowiki></code> gives:
##:* {{IMDb name | 0000008 | Marlon Brando | section= bio }}


There is also the ''section'' parameter which can be set to awards or bio to link to the Awards or Biography section of the site.

# Copy '''only''' that number (here, "<code>0805658</code>"), omitting the "<code>nm</code>" but keep all the leading zeros (although IMDb seems to add missing leading zeroes in desktop mode [''www.imdb.com''], in mobile mode [''m.imdb.com''] all 7 digits are needed or an error page is served)
# Replace "<tt>ID</tt>" in the template code with the number
## For the first option above, you'll then have

##* {{IMDb name|0805658}}
##: Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page "Helen Slayton-Hughes", use the second option:

This template uses the Wikidata property:

This template is used to generate an external link to a web page for a person in the Internet Movie Database. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.

For a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{IMDb title}}.
For a specific TV episode or Web series episode, use {{IMDb episode}}.
For an episode list, use {{IMDb episodes}}.
For a company, use {{IMDb company}}.
For an event, use {{IMDb event}}.

Usage

If the subject of the Wikipedia article is the same as the IMDb page, only ID number is required. The template then uses the Wikipedia article name as the anchor text.

  • {{IMDb name | ID }}
  • {{IMDb name | id= ID }}

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).

  • {{IMDb name | ID | NAME }}
  • {{IMDb name | id= ID | name= NAME }}

The parameter |section= can be set to award (alternatively awards) or bio (alternatively biography) to link to the awards or biography section for that person.

  • {{IMDb name | ID | NAME | section= SECTION }}
  • {{IMDb name | id= ID | name= NAME | section= SECTION }}

The ID number may be omitted if the article's Wikidata item includes property (P345).

  • {{IMDb name}}
  • {{IMDb name | name= NAME }}
  • {{IMDb name | name= NAME | section= SECTION }}
