Template talk:Imdb

This template (and this talk page) is a modified version of Wikipedia:Template:Imdb name. Its purpose is to provide a uniform method of linking to IMDb entries. The original template had two versions, both serving a specific version, while this modified template can be used for either purpose.

Instructions

 * 1) Go to imdb.com and search for the entry you want
 * 2) Click on the correct link to go to the entry you were looking for.
 * 3) The page URL should follow the form http://www.imdb.com/****/**#######
 * 4) Add to the external links section the text:
 * where "url" is part of the URL that you've copied, and "text" is what you wish to be the link text (usually an actor's name).
 * where "url" is part of the URL that you've copied, and "text" is what you wish to be the link text (usually an actor's name).

Example

 * 1) Searching for "Mark Hamill", you'll reach this page: http://www.imdb.com/find?q=mark%20hamill;tt=on;nm=on;mx=20
 * 2) Click on the name that has "(Actor, Star Wars (1977))" after it. This will take you to http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000434/
 * 3) Copy "name/nm0000434/" and then write:

The result is:

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.
