Template:IMDb episodes/doc

This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database. This template should be used exclusively for EPISODE LISTS, typically for TV series.


 * To link a specific TV episode, use IMDB episode instead.
 * To link a work (film, TV program, video game, etc.), use IMDB title instead.
 * To link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use IMDB name instead.
 * To link a company, use IMDB company instead.
 * To link a character, use IMDB character instead.

Instructions

 * 1) Search on imdb.com for the title you want. On the WikiQueer page of the TV show concerned this can often be done conveniently with the link produced by previewing  . 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 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
 * 4) Copy ONLY that number (be sure to remove the "tt" )
 * 5) Add to the external links section the text:
 * where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show.
 * where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show.


 * 1) (Optional) If you want to add an additional description to distinguish this TV show from another that may be on the same page with the same name, use the following text:
 * where "#######" is the number you've copied, "Title" is the title of the TV show, and "Description" is the description of the show, in parentheses.
 * where "#######" is the number you've copied, "Title" is the title of the TV show, and "Description" is the description of the show, in parentheses.

Example

 * 1) On the page Cavalcade of America, preview and search using the link Cavalcade of America produced. You'll get to this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044248/
 * 2) Copy "0044248" and then replace the template with the  template, including this number as a parameter:

The result on the page Cavalcade of America 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.

2nd example

 * 1) Searching for the 1993 remake of the TV series "Route 66", you'll get to this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106117/
 * 2) Copy "0106117" and then write:

The result is:
