Finding the IMDb ID
- Search on imdb.com for the title you want. On the wiki page of the TV show concerned this can often be done conveniently with the link produced by previewing {{IMDB title}}. This may not work if the page title is more than just the TV show title.
- Click on the correct link to go to the TV show's page (or whatever you're looking for). Be sure you're getting on the correct title page.
- The page URL should look like https://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
- Copy only that number (be sure to remove the "tt"[a].)
Usage
- {{IMDb episodes|id}}
Parameters
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Required. The IMDb ID of the TV program. |
|
Optional. If not used defaults to {{PAGENAMEBASE}} |
|
Optional. An additional description to distinguish the TV program from another that may be on the same page with the same name. |
season
|
Optional. The season number. If not used defaults to the season number in the article title disambiguation. |
Example
- On the page Cavalcade of America, preview {{IMDb title}} and search using the link Cavalcade of America produced. You'll get to this page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044248/
- Copy "0044248" and then replace the {{IMDb title}} template with the {{IMDB episodes}} template, including this number as a parameter: {{IMDb episodes|0044248}}
- The result on the page Cavalcade of America is: Cavalcade of America at IMDb
2nd example
- Searching for the 1993 remake of the TV series "Route 66", you'll get to this page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106117/
- Copy "0106117" and then write: {{IMDb episodes|0106117|Route 66|(1993)}}
- The result is: Route 66 (1993) at IMDb
