This is a template to generate links to [[IMDb|Internet Movie Database]], '''used exclusively for ''EVENTS'''''.

:To link a work (film/movie, TV or Web program/series, video game, etc.), use {{Tl|IMDb title}} instead.
:To link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use {{Tl|IMDb name}} instead.
:To link a specific TV episode or Web series episode, use {{Tl|IMDb episode}} instead.
:To link an episode list, use {{Tl|IMDb episodes}} instead.

===Options===
{{See also|Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb}}

The required parameter is just the ID number (for backward compatibility, the parameter can be named <code>id</code>) and the template then uses the article title as the [[anchor text]]:
<pre>
* {{IMDb event|ID}}
</pre>
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (for backward compatibility, it can be named <code>name</code>):
<pre>
* {{IMDb event|ID|Event}}
</pre>
You can also include the year of an event using {{para|year}} (the event name is optional):
<pre>
* {{IMDb event|ID|Event|year=2019}}
</pre>

Note that the options include the "<code>*</code>" for a bulleted list since this is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.

==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 <code>https://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000453/</code> (or other 7-digit number)
# Copy '''only''' that number (here, "<code>0005073</code>"), omitting the "<code>ev</code>" but keep all the leading zeros (though IMDb currently seems to be able to add them as needed)
# Replace "<code>ID</code>" in the template code with the number
## For the first option above, you'll then have
##: <code><nowiki>* {{IMDb event|0000453}}</nowiki></code> resulting in:
##* {{IMDb event|0000453}}
##: 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 "<code>ID</code>" with the number ''and'' "<code>Event</code>" with "<code>MTV Movie Awards</code>"
##: <code><nowiki>* {{IMDb event|0000453|MTV Movie Awards}}</nowiki></code> results in:
##:* {{IMDb event|0000453|MTV Movie Awards}}
