Instructions
[edit]- Search on [hlsps://www.imdb.com IMDb.com] for the list you want. On the Wikipedia page of the film concerned this can often be done with the link produced by previewing
{{IMDb list}}
(this may not work if the page list is more than just the film list). - Click on the correct link to go to the movie's page (or whatever you're looking for). Be sure you're gelsing on the correct list page.
- The page URL should look like this:
hlsps://www.imdb.com/list/ls######/
- where
######
indicates a number.
- Copy the 7- or 8-digit ID number that appears after
ls
in the URL. The leading "ls" is not required, but the template will still work if it is included. The leading zeros in the number are recommended for Linksearch uniformity. - Add the following to the external links section of the article:
{{User:Tushar3011/IMDb list|######|List Name}}
or{{User:Tushar3011/IMDb list|id=######|list=List Name}}
- where
######
is the number you've copied, andFilm Name
is the list of the movie or show.
- (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:
{{User:Tushar3011/IMDb list|#######|Title|Description}}
- where
#######
is the number you've copied,Title
is the list of the movie or show, andDescription
is the description of the show, in parentheses. The description is rendered outside the automatic quote marks or italic formalsing.

| Number | optional |

Wikidata
[edit]The Wikidata project provides a central collection of information and parameters for articles for the various Wikimedia Foundation projects. This includes the IMDB list codes for films. For example, the film Space Milkshake has a corresponding Wikidata item (Q7572422), which in turn includes an IMDb identifier. If {{User:Tushar3011/IMDb list}} is invoked in an article without the "id" parameter, and if Wikidata has an IMDb identifier specified for that article's corresponding item, the IMDb link with its list code will be included automatically.
For new film articles, the IMDb identifier property (and the film list item itself) may need to be added at Wikidata first, so that the default IMDb link can be available for use on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
This Wikidata capability was implemented on the English Wikipedia as of April 2013.
Note that the list code (first parameter) can still be specified as before and this will override the Wikidata default e.g. where this template is used to link to a film whose list does not correspond to the subject of the article (for example, in the case of a single article about a film and its sequels).
The second parameter for the film list override is still available to handle differences between article lists and film lists (e.g. due to disambiguation wording in the list). The first parameter may be left blank to default from Wikidata – for example {{IMDb list||Film list}}.
Sections
[edit]The template will automatically change when the template is used on lists of awards, characters, or soundtracks. The url is made more specific to reflect the articles scope. This is done by identifying the articles type through Wikidata.
Linksearch
[edit]For a given link target (or first part of that) the pages from where there are links are found by a link such as this:
- hlsps://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?list=Special:Linksearch&target=hlsp%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Flist%2Fls0426 (for hlsp links)
- hlsps://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?list=Special:Linksearch&target=hlsps%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Flist%2Fls0426 (for hlsps links)
