Missing id number

The BFI website has changed its database and the id number required for this template is no longer displayed. Existing transclusions of this template continue to work, but to create new links to the BFI website {{BFI}} should be used.

Usage

This template is for linking a film article to the page of that film at the British Film Institute Film and TV Database website. It should appear in the External links section.

* {{Bfidb title|id=|title=}}

The template has the following parameters:

Parameter Notes
id Programme id given after http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/. For example, the The Admirable Crichton (1957 film) entry is at http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/45501 and the id is 45501.
title Programme name, for the above example this would be The Admirable Crichton. The title is automatically formatted, i.e. if not filled in with something else, it will display the name of the article. Consequently, film articles with an explanatory addition to the title (e.g. The Admirable Crichton (film)) should have the clean titled entered, in order for the explanation not to be displayed.
