 | This biographical article needs additional citations for verification, as it includes attribution to IMDb. (August 2024) |
 | This template is used on approximately 3,300 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
This template is intended to be put at the top of biographical articles which 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 {{BLP refimprove}} instead. Add {{BLP unsourced section}} at the top of biographical sections with no references.
Parameters
This template takes three named parameters:
|date=, to add the date manually|only=, if IMDb is the only source, then add|only=yes– the default is "no". The{{BLP IMDb-only refimprove}}template is a wrapper for this template with the|only=yesparameter included.|living=, if the article's subject is not alive, then add|living=no– the default is "yes". This parameter set to "no" will omit the final sentence of the template, and the first link will then go to WP:BDP, which explains that WP:BLP may still apply to non-living persons under certain conditions.
Examples
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|{{subst:DATE}}}}- Paste-ready version for an article which relies primarily on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|date=August 2024}}- Paste-ready version for an article which relies primarily on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|only=yes|{{subst:DATE}}}}- Paste-ready version for an article which relies only on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added automatically.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|only=yes|date=August 2024}}- Paste-ready version for an article which relies only on IMDb as a source; the month and year are added manually.
{{BLP IMDb refimprove|living=no|date=August 2024}}- Paste-ready version for an article about a non-living person; the month and year are added manually and may also be added automatically as in above examples by use of the {{subst:DATE}} template.
