on line 8. This makes the link target also changed by the name parameter for its usecase. Aaron Liu (talk) 19:48, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is it me? or is there one extra {{{ that has not been closed with }}}? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 22:57, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct, that has been fixed. I confused the parameter with the magic word. Aaron Liu (talk) 23:06, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To editor Aaron Liu: now it looks like the {{urlencode: has not been closed with }}. Editor Trappist the monk is correct. This needs to be tested thoroughly. Please reopen this request after successful testing has been performed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 23:38, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would recommend against this change without there is some sort of testing that proves that it works. That is why we have ~/testcases pages; proper testing would have caught that error.

Thanks for the advice, I have now made fixed changes to the sandbox and results can be seen in Template:IMDb name/testcases. The only testcases that don't pass are where the new behavior takes effect, so I believe this is a success. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:19, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth @Trappist the monk Would you like to review this again? Aaron Liu (talk) 13:52, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fix link to redirect at "IMDb name at IMDb" - IMDb links to IMDb (identifier) instead of IMDb. Eurohunter (talk) 16:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC) Eurohunter (talk) 16:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. The purpose of [[IMDb (identifier)]] in this template is to prevent this template, used in ~152,000 articles from contaminating Special:WhatLinksHere/IMDb. Similar redirects exist for |isbn=, |pmc=, |doi=, etc parameters in cs1|2 templates (and the matching {{ISBN}}, {{PMC}}, {{DOI}}, etc templates).
Trappist the monk (talk) 16:55, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Another editor inappropriately changed [[IMDb (identifier)|IMDb]] to [[IMDb]]. I have restored the redirect.
