The review parameter needs to be removed from this external link template. Per WP:ELMAYBE #1, individual reviews should not be external links but instead sources in the article body. Otherwise, the template gives the false impression that it is appropriate to include a review as an EL. Pinging Adabow, Closedmouth. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 13:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
This discussion was recently brought to my attention. @ Erik, Lugnuts, and MarnetteD: did anything ever come of this? NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 06:53, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

There seems to be consensus here to remove support for directly linking to reviews via this template. This seems to be done through the "tab=review" parameter. Please remove this functionality. Thanks. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 02:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
I came here to service the edit request, but find myself having an opinion for once... For context,
|tab=
is used about 80 times out of the 20k uses (0.4%), a substantial number of which contain "review" as the value. It might indeed be valuable to remove the tab-specific functionality, as a) citations should use the most-specific link anyway, b) non-citation uses of this template are likely in the vast majority, probably used as a generic external link template. I would support removal of the functionality entirely. --

|tab=
. I added a tracking category
Category:AllMovie titles with a tab value of review, but it may take a day or so for it to be populated as pages are updated, and I'm going through and removing all the review links I can find in external link sections. Once the existing uses are cleared up, I can update the template per the consensus here so that tab=review
will no longer function. --

Same problem at
Fly Me#External links: {{
AllMovie title|m1525322}}
successfully resolves to
https://www.allmovie.com/movie/vm1525322, and works correctly in the article, but it nonetheless tells readers "Invalid ID." —

works:
Fly Me (1972) at
AllMovie. Same for
Victoria (2016) at
AllMovie. Maybe the documentation is unhelpful. --

All the links are throwing 404 errors since Allmovie has done some sitewide URL change.
Random example: Vengeance (2009 film) was: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/v489431 now it's: https://www.allmovie.com/movie/vengeance-am29989 Mika1h ( talk) 11:25, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
