Imdb company kwenye Internet Movie Database
This is a template to generate links to Internet Movie Database, used exclusively for COMPANIES.
- To link a movie, use {{imdb title}} instead.
- To link a person (actor, actress, etc.), use {{imdb name}} instead.
- To link a tv episode, use {{imdb episode}} instead.
- To link a character, use {{imdb character}} instead.
- To link a biography, use {{imdb biography}} instead.
Options
[hariri chanzo]The required parameter is just the ID number (for backward compatibility, the parameter can be named id
) and the template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
* {{imdb company|ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (for backward compatibility, it can be named name
):
* {{imdb company|ID|Company}}
Note that the options include the "*" for a bulleted list since this is most likely to be used in an "External links" section.
