Template:Template doc page viewed directly This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database. This template should be used exclusively for PEOPLE.
If you need to link a movie, use Template:imdb title instead.
Instructions
- Go to imdb.com and search for the person you want
- Click on the correct link to go to the person's page. Be sure you're getting the right person
- The page URL should look like http://www.imdb.com/name/nm#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
- Copy ONLY that number (be sure to remove the "nm" and to keep all the zeros)
- Add to the external links section the text:
- {{imdb name|id=#######|name=Name}}
- where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name
Example
- Searching for "Jack Nicholson", you'll reach this page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/
- Copy "0000197" and then write:
- {{imdb name|id=0000197|name=Jack Nicholson}}
The result is Template:Imdb name
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.
