Template:BLP IMDb refimprove/doc
{{Documentation subpage}}
{{tlb|BLP IMDb refimprove}} 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. {{em|Note:}} using {{tl|IMDb name}} in the external link section to link to the individual's IMDb page a valid link. Those usages should not be tagged with this template.
If a significant amount of material is attributed to sources other than IMDb, but there is still unreferenced material, consider using {{tlx|BLP sources}} instead.
Usage
{{tlx|BLP IMDb refimprove|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
Parameters
This template takes three named parameters:
- {{para|date}}, to add the date manually
- {{para|only}}, if IMDb is the only source, then add {{para|only|yes}} – the default is "no". The {{tlx|BLP IMDb-only refimprove}} template is a wrapper for this template with the {{para|only|yes}} parameter included.
- {{para|living}}, if the article's subject is not alive, then add {{para|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.
