Template talk:IMDb name

''NOTE: This template is borrowed from Wikipedia. For discussions about the development of the original template, see Template talk:Imdb title and Template talk:Imdb/Archive.''

This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database. This template should be used exclusively for PEOPLE; that is, actors, writers, directors, etc. If you need to link a title (movie, TV show, or mini-series), use Template:imdb title instead.

= Instructions =


 * 1) Go to imdb.com and search for the person you want.
 * 2) Click on the correct link to go to the person's page. Be sure you're getting the right person.
 * 3) The page URL should look like  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm####### , where "#######" indicates a number.
 * 4) Copy ONLY that number. (Be sure to remove the "nm" and to keep all the zeros.)
 * 5) Add to the External links section the text:
 * where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name.
 * where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Name" is the person's name.

Example
The result is:
 * 1) Searching for "Jack Nicholson", you'll reach this page:
 * http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/
 * 1) Copy "0000197" and then write:

Note that, since this will almost certainly go into the External links section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
