This is a template used to generate external links to AllMovie (formerly known as All Movie Guide and AllRovi). This template should be used exclusively for a person (actor, director, etc.); to link to films and television series use {{AllMovie title}} instead.

Usage

Unnamed parameters:

  • {{AllMovie name|ID}}
  • {{AllMovie name|ID|NAME}}

Named parameters:

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

Instructions

  1. Go to AllMovie and search for the person you want.
  2. Click on the correct link to go to the person's page. Be sure you're getting the right person.
  3. The page URL should look like this:
    http://www.allmovie.com/artist/firstname-lastname-p#####
    or http://www.allmovie.com/artist/p#####
    where ##### indicates a number
  4. Add this text to the External links section:
    * {{AllMovie name|#####|NAME}}
    or * {{AllMovie name|id=#####|name=NAME}}
    where ##### is the number you've copied,
    and NAME is the person's name (default is the article name)
