Template:IMDB title/doc

This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database. 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:
 * where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show.
 * 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:
 * 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.
 * 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:

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.
