Template:IMDb event
Template:IMDb event generates links to Internet Movie Database events pages.
Usage
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 event|ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (for backward compatibility, it can be named |event=):
{{IMDb event|ID|Event}}
You can also include the year of an event using |year= (the event name is optional):
{{IMDb event|ID|Event|year=2019}}
Detailed instructions
- Copy and paste one of the options above into the article
- Go to https://www.imdb.com and search for the event you want (say, MTV Movie Awards)
- You then reach the page with URL looking like
https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000453/(or other 7-digit number) - Copy only that number (here, "
0005073"), omitting the "ev" but keep all the 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 event|0000453}}resulting in:
- IMDb event at IMDb
- Note that the link text is the same as the title of the page the template is used on; outside the page "MTV Movie Awards", use the second option:
- Replace "
ID" with the number and "Event" with "MTV Movie Awards"* {{IMDb event|0000453|MTV Movie Awards}}results in:
