Template:Mpdb movie

[edit] Template documentation

This is a template to generate links to MoviePosterDB.com.

[edit] Instructions

1. Search on imdb.com for the title you want. On the Wikipedia page of the film concerned this can often be done conveniently with the link produced by previewing {{imdb title}}. This may not work if the page title is more than just the film title.
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 should look like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######, where "#######" indicates a number.
4. Copy ONLY that number (be sure to remove the "tt" and to keep all the zeros)
5. Add to the external links section the text:

{{mpdb movie|#######|Title}}

where "#######" is the number you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show.

[edit] Example

1. On the page Alpha Dog, preview {{imdb title}} and search using the link Alpha Dog produced. You'll get to this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426883/
2. Copy "0426883" and then add this number as parameter:

{{mpdb movie|0426883}}

The result on the page Alpha Dog is:

Alpha Dog movie posters at MoviePosterDB.com

.

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