Template:Imdb title/doc

This is a template to generate links to 互聯網電影資料庫. This template should be used exclusively for TITLES, that is, of movies, TV series, games, etc.

If you need to link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use Template:imdb name instead.

Instructions

1. Go to imdb.com and search for the title you want
2. Click on the correct link to go to the movie's page (or whatever you're looking for). Be sure you're getting on the correct title page.
3. The page URL should look like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
4. Copy ONLY that number (be sure to remove the "tt" and to keep all the zeros)
5. Add to the external links section the text:

{{imdb title|#######|Title}}

where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show.

1. (Optional) If you want to add an additional description to distinguish this film/show from another that may be on the same page with the same name, use the following text:

{{imdb title|#######|Title|Description}}

where "#######" is the number you've copied, "Title" is the title of the movie or show, and "Description" is the description of the show, in parentheses.

Example

1. Searching for "Beetle Juice", you'll get to this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094721/
2. Copy "0094721" and then write:

{{imdb title|0094721|Beetle Juice}}

The result is 《Beetle Juice》喺互聯網電影資料庫嘅資料（英文）

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.

If you still have any doubts or questions about the use of the template, go to my talk page — Kieff | Talk 03:53, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)

2nd example

1. Searching for the 1993 remake of the TV series "Route 66", you'll get to this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106117/
2. Copy "0106117" and then write:

{{imdb title|0106117|Route 66|(1993)}}

The result is 《Route 66(1993)》喺互聯網電影資料庫嘅資料（英文）
