Template:Metacritic television/doc

This is a template to generate links to MetaCritic. This template should be used exclusively for TV TITLES, that is, of made for television movies and television series.


 * To link a film, use metacritic film instead.

Instructions

 * 1) Search on metacritic.com for the title you want.
 * 2) Click on the correct link to go to the movie's page (or whatever you're looking for). Be sure you're getting on the correct title page.
 * 3) The page URL for a television series or made-for-tv film should look like http://www.metacritic.com/tv/shows/YYYYYYYYYY, with the YYYYYYYYYY being a text ID for the film/series (and usually the film/series title with all spaces and punctuation removed)
 * 4) Copy ONLY that text at the end
 * 5) Add to the external links section the text:
 * where "YYYYYYYYYY" is the id you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show. The title field is completely optional, and will default to the WikiQueer article title if left out
 * where "YYYYYYYYYY" is the id you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show. The title field is completely optional, and will default to the WikiQueer article title if left out

Example

 * 1) On the page Category 7: The End of the World, a search on Metacritic in the TV area results gets you to this page: http://www.metacritic.com/tv/shows/category7theendoftheworld
 * 2) Copy "category7theendoftheworld" and then use it for the ID:

The result on the article page is:

Typically this is a list item in the external links section (even if there is only one link), so you should add "*" in front.
