Finding the IMDb ID

See also: Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites § IMDb

1. Search on imdb.com for the title you want. On the Wikipedia 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.
2. 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.
3. The page URL should look like https://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
4. Copy only that number (be sure to remove the "tt".)

Usage

• {{IMDb episodes|id}}

Parameters

Parameter	Explanation
1 id	Required. The IMDb ID of the TV program.
2 title	Optional. If not used defaults to {{PAGENAMEBASE}}
3 description	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

1. 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/
2. Copy "0044248" and then replace the {{IMDb title}} template with the {{IMDB episodes}} template, including this number as a parameter: {{IMDb episodes|0044248}}
3. The result on the page Cavalcade of America is: Cavalcade of America at IMDb

2nd example

1. Searching for the 1993 remake of the TV series "Route 66", you'll get to this page: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106117/
2. Copy "0106117" and then write: {{IMDb episodes|0106117|Route 66|(1993)}}
