| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Bfidb title. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| The British Film Institute (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 use Template:BFI. |
Template:Bfidb title displays an external link to a web page for a film title at the British Film Institute Film and TV Database. It is intended for use in the external links section of an article.
Contents
Usage
If the subject of the Wikipedia article is the same as the BFI page, only the ID number is required. The template then uses the Wikipedia article name as the anchor text.
To have the link text be other than the article name, use the second parameter.
Parameters
| Parameter | Notes |
|---|---|
| id | Programme id given after http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/sift/title/. For example, the The Admirable Crichton (1957 film) entry is at http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/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 title entered, in order for the explanation not to be displayed. |
Example
Usage:
* {{Bfidb title | 45501 | The Admirable Crichton }}* {{Bfidb title |id= 45501 |title= The Admirable Crichton }}
Output:
- The Admirable Crichton at the British Film Institute's Film and TV Database
