(Redirected from Template talk:Imdb name)
NOTE: This template is borrowed from Wikipedia. For discussions about the development of the original template, see Template talk:Imdb title and Template talk:Imdb/Archive.
This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database. This template should be used exclusively for PEOPLE; that is, actors, writers, directors, etc. If you need to link a title (movie, TV show, or mini-series), use Template:imdb title instead.
Instructions
edit- Go to imdb.com and search for the person you want.
- Click on the correct link to go to the person's page. Be sure you're getting the right person.
- The page w:URL should look like http://www.imdb.com/name/nm#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
- Copy ONLY that number. (Be sure to remove the "nm" and to keep all the zeros.)
- Add to the External links section the text:
- {{imdb name|id=#######|name=Name}}
- where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name.
Example
edit- Searching for "Jack Nicholson", you'll reach this page:
- Copy "0000197" and then write:
- {{imdb name|id=0000197|name=Jack Nicholson}}
The result is:
Note that, since this will almost certainly go into the External links section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
