Template:IMDb event
IMDb event on IMDb
Usage
changeRelated pages
changeThis is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database, used exclusively for EVENTS.
- To link a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{IMDb title}} instead.
- To link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use {{IMDb name}} instead.
- To link a specific TV episode or Web series episode, use {{IMDb episode}} instead.
- To link an episode list, use {{IMDb episodes}} instead.
- To link a character, use {{IMDb character}} instead.
Options
changeThe 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 name):
* {{IMDb event|ID|Event}}
Note that the options include the "*" for a bulleted list since this is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.
Detailed instructions
change- Copy and paste one of the options above into the article

- 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 on 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:
- For the first option above, you'll then have
