| This is a documentation subpage for Template:IMDb episode. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database, used exclusively for episodes .
- To link an episode list, use {{IMDb episodes}} instead.
- To link a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{IMDb title}} instead.
- To link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use {{IMDb name}} instead.
- To link a company, use {{IMDb company}} instead.
Options
The required parameter is just the ID number (for backward compatibility, the parameter can be named id) and the template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
* {{IMDb episode | ID }}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (for backward compatibility, it can be named Episode):
* {{IMDb episode | ID | Episode }}
Note that the examples include the * for a bulleted list since this is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.
Detailed instructions
- Copy and paste one of the options above into the article.
- Go to https://www.imdb.com, select TV episode in the search drop down menu and search for the episode you want (say, One for the Road; you'll reach
https://www.imdb.com/find?s=ep&q=One+for+the+Road&x=13&y=10). - Click on the correct "One for the Road" in the list:
- You then reach the page with URL looking like
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0539826/(or other 7-digit number) - Copy only that number (here, 0539826), omitting the
ttpart, but keep any leading zeros (though IMDb currently seems to be able to add them as needed) - Replace ID in the template code with the number
- For the first option above, you'll then have
* {{IMDb episode | 0539826 }}resulting in:
- "Template:PAGENAMEBASE" at IMDbScript error: No such module "EditAtWikidata".
- Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page One for the Road, use the second option:
- Replace ID with the number and Episode with
One for the Road* {{IMDb episode | 0539826 | One for the Road }}results in:- "One for the Road" at IMDbScript error: No such module "EditAtWikidata".
- For the first option above, you'll then have
