Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template is intended to be put at the top of media articles that rely primarily or entirely on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) as a source. It places the articles in Category:Articles sourced by IMDb or an appropriate subcategory. If a significant amount of material is attributed to sources other than IMDb, but there is still unreferenced material, consider using {{more citations needed}} instead.

Parameters

This template takes two named parameters:

|date=, to add the date manually
|only=, if IMDb is the only source, then add |only=yes – the default is "no".

Examples

{{Media IMDb refimprove|date=December 2024}}: Paste-ready version for a media article that relies primarily on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
