I'd like to propose a change to the template; it wouldn't break any current usages, but it would make it possible to use the template more descriptively in a consistent fashion.
Here's the problem description: sometimes several related works with the same title would logically appear in the same article (like, a movie and a remake of the movie, or a movie and the TV series that followed it.) The current options are: put an identifier in the "title" parameter, making the title technically incorrect:
or put the identifier after the entire template output:
What I propose, however, is that a third parameter be added to the template. If no third parameter is present, the template won't output anything for it; if a third parameter is there, the template inserts it next to the title but outside the italicization that marks the actual title:
(I'm not sure whether the descriptor should be part of the link or not; I'm leaning towards "should be" so that both title and descriptor are visually separated from the "at". What do people think? -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I have attempted to look for a discussion on this matter and have come up empty. In every instance where I have attempted to click on an external link to IMDB, the link has not worked. However, if I change the link to start with US instead of WWW, it does work.
After doing some research, I find that IMDB does not use the WWW format at all. It uses US, UK, ITALIAN, GERMAN and something called AKAS.
I would think that it would be better to have the template point to one of these then for the link to not work on the first click.

Do we need this template to systematically link to ' Internet Movie Database'? I warrant that it's sufficiently well known site that linking is unnecessary - iMDb is a reference, and is unlikely to be germane to the subject in the vast majority of articles (usually of films or actors). Again, in the vast majority of cases, an article has several of these templates, thus several links to imdb. Let's remove the square brackets... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohconfucius ( talk • contribs) 03:27, 26 October 2011

According to the imdb, "The Wrecking Crew" was technically released in December of 1968. Therefore it is a 1968 film and not a 1969 film. Please change the title template to reflect this. Thank you. 173.73.137.6 ( talk) 01:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Problem: There are loads of film articles using this template without an id parameter. Without an id, the template will automatically link the IMDb search results for {PAGENAME}, like this:
The problem is that the results are not always very relevant.
Solution: {{ Commons category}} has a similar problem. This was solved by adding functionality that adds articles to Category:Commons category template with no category set. I've copied/tweaked the code to add Category:IMDb template with no id set (see my sandbox User:Jonkerz/debug). This will make it 1000 times easier to repair these links. jonkerz ♠talk 13:35, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Including the tt
prefix as {{IMDB title|tt2421662}} rather than the expected {{IMDB title|2421662}} causes the template to emit an invalid URL. It would be good if we could either trap and warn of such errors (perhaps with a tracking category), or accommodate them, using
Lua. The same applies to {{
IMDb name}}.

Should we add the use of {{ Title without disambig}} to this template so that it removes any part of the pagename in brackets automatically? -- WOSlinker ( talk) 14:18, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Wikidata is currently collecting IMDb identifier numbers corresponding to film articles e.g. wikidata:Q729788. Presumably this means that this template (and its related variants) could eventually pick up the IMDb link from the corresponding Wikidata value, especially once the {{#property:xx}} syntax is enabled here on en:.

See: Wikipedia talk:External links#Harry Potter and the X Stone to participate in the discussion.
Apparently, when a movie has different names depending upon the region in which it was released, IMDb will sometimes display different movie titles depending upon the region of the computer linking to their site. (for example, reportedly http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0241527/ will display "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" when viewed from the USA, but will show "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" when viewed from the UK).
The discussion linked above is attempting to determine how best to reflect this when using this template. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 21:48, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

I noticed in Untitled 2017 Star Trek TV series that the template italicises the title parameter automatically. The problem is that it’s not the actual title, so it shouldn’t be italicised, only a part of it (Star Trek). Any ideas on how to change this?

Why has the source been referred to by initials (acronym), as if everyone knows them?
I find it more encyclopedic in tone and explanatory to define clearly the source, such as "the Internet Movie Database" and not "IMDb" and that the preposition should be "at" or "in" and not "on". SidP ( talk) 19:31, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

A recent change to (all?) IMDb templating has changed the generated links from http to https. This doesn't seem like the preferred method outlined by IMDb ( IMDb guidelines) so I was curious as to why this change was made and whether the specifications outlined by a website like IMDb should have any bearing on which method should be used as default.

Is there a reason why Alexandre at IMDb isn't Alexandre at IMDb ? I added the space before "on IMDb" because, well, words are separated from other words and usually from symbols. There's a space in the template, but apparently it gets trimmed. So I added nbsp in the sandbox version, and it works OK at Template:IMDb title/testcases. The only problem is, the template has existed for years without the space, so maybe the rest of the world knows something I don't. Art LaPella ( talk) 04:29, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Other movie/tv WP templates (and other media types, inc. music, et al.) use "at" as the linking word. So why is IMDb entirely different?
e.g. Oblivion (2013 film):
templates:
It should be just "at" (as in: Oblivion at IMDb), rather than "at the" (as in: Oblivion at the IMDb), as the "the" is superfluous on an acronym version of the site's name.
Can we update all the IMDb templates so they are are no longer incongruous, and are finally in line with the others, accordingly. Jimthing ( talk) 23:13, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, please copy change from sandbox. Have added an if function to the wikilink so that it can be hidden. Use cases would be articles with multiple uses of the template such as List of accolades received by Marvel Cinematic Universe films#External links where it only needs to be linked at first mention in section. No change to current results per Template:IMDb title/testcases so guess uncontroversial enough for above template. I can add to doc if accepted.

Do we need this template to systematically link to ' Internet Movie Database'? I warrant that it's sufficiently well known site that linking is unnecessary - iMDb is a reference, and is unlikely to be germane to the subject in the vast majority of articles (usually of films or actors). Again, in the vast majority of cases, an article has several of these templates, thus several links to imdb. Let's remove the square brackets... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ohconfucius ( talk • contribs) 03:27, 26 October 2011

According to the imdb, "The Wrecking Crew" was technically released in December of 1968. Therefore it is a 1968 film and not a 1969 film. Please change the title template to reflect this. Thank you. 173.73.137.6 ( talk) 01:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Problem: There are loads of film articles using this template without an id parameter. Without an id, the template will automatically link the IMDb search results for {PAGENAME}, like this:
The problem is that the results are not always very relevant.
Solution: {{ Commons category}} has a similar problem. This was solved by adding functionality that adds articles to Category:Commons category template with no category set. I've copied/tweaked the code to add Category:IMDb template with no id set (see my sandbox User:Jonkerz/debug). This will make it 1000 times easier to repair these links. jonkerz ♠talk 13:35, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Including the tt
prefix as {{IMDB title|tt2421662}} rather than the expected {{IMDB title|2421662}} causes the template to emit an invalid URL. It would be good if we could either trap and warn of such errors (perhaps with a tracking category), or accommodate them, using
Lua. The same applies to {{
IMDb name}}.

Should we add the use of {{ Title without disambig}} to this template so that it removes any part of the pagename in brackets automatically? -- WOSlinker ( talk) 14:18, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Wikidata is currently collecting IMDb identifier numbers corresponding to film articles e.g. wikidata:Q729788. Presumably this means that this template (and its related variants) could eventually pick up the IMDb link from the corresponding Wikidata value, especially once the {{#property:xx}} syntax is enabled here on en:.

|id}
-check but before the |Title?
, but I'll leave the actual coding to someone more well-versed with this stuff. As you said, the id parameter provided in the invokation of this template should still override any value on Wikidata.

In the documentation, item 5 of the usage docs mentions a Title parameter but does not show this parameter in use, creating some confusion as to correct usage. — Leftmostcat ( talk) 23:38, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
See: Wikipedia talk:External links#Harry Potter and the X Stone to participate in the discussion.
Apparently, when a movie has different names depending upon the region in which it was released, IMDb will sometimes display different movie titles depending upon the region of the computer linking to their site. (for example, reportedly http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0241527/ will display "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" when viewed from the USA, but will show "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" when viewed from the UK).
The discussion linked above is attempting to determine how best to reflect this when using this template. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 21:48, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

I noticed in Untitled 2017 Star Trek TV series that the template italicises the title parameter automatically. The problem is that it’s not the actual title, so it shouldn’t be italicised, only a part of it (Star Trek). Any ideas on how to change this? I’ve tried some bandaid solutions with <span> and additional '', as well as setting an empty title parameter with a description parameter, but it doesn’t seem to work.–Totie ( talk) 16:10, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Why has the source been referred to by initials (acronym), as if everyone knows them?
I find it more encyclopedic in tone and explanatory to define clearly the source, such as "the Internet Movie Database" and not "IMDb" and that the preposition should be "at" or "in" and not "on". SidP ( talk) 19:31, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

A recent change to (all?) IMDb templating has changed the generated links from http to https. This doesn't seem like the preferred method outlined by IMDb ( IMDb guidelines) so I was curious as to why this change was made and whether the specifications outlined by a website like IMDb should have any bearing on which method should be used as default. Thanks. - LudaChrisKlein ( talk) 07:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Right now the only allowable value for |section=

I would like to add some more options, starting with the following:

Is there a reason why Alexandre at IMDb isn't Alexandre at IMDb ? I added the space before "on IMDb" because, well, words are separated from other words and usually from symbols. There's a space in the template, but apparently it gets trimmed. So I added nbsp in the sandbox version, and it works OK at Template:IMDb title/testcases. The only problem is, the template has existed for years without the space, so maybe the rest of the world knows something I don't. Art LaPella ( talk) 04:29, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Other movie/tv WP templates (and other media types, inc. music, et al.) use "at" as the linking word. So why is IMDb entirely different?
e.g. Oblivion (2013 film):
templates:
It should be just "at" (as in: Oblivion at IMDb), rather than "at the" (as in: Oblivion at the IMDb), as the "the" is superfluous on an acronym version of the site's name.
Can we update all the IMDb templates so they are are no longer incongruous, and are finally in line with the others, accordingly. Jimthing ( talk) 23:13, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, please copy change from sandbox. Have added an if function to the wikilink so that it can be hidden. Use cases would be articles with multiple uses of the template such as List of accolades received by Marvel Cinematic Universe films#External links where it only needs to be linked at first mention in section. No change to current results per Template:IMDb title/testcases so guess uncontroversial enough for above template. I can add to doc if accepted.

Hey, please copy changes from sandbox, fix for [3] by @ Terasail: which seems to have broke the IMDb template, have tried to allign this with Template:Netflix title to hopefully fix.

11:55, 7 July 2022 (UTC)Would be nice to be able to link directly to the soundtrack, just like linking to the awards. Seems to be working in the sandbox.

Cf. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6217926/reference vs. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6217926/
Unlike the main page for the movie, the reference subpage is not full of ads and contains the sort of information that Wikipedia users might actually be looking for. Right now the template doesn't support linking to the reference subpage.
There are two possible implementations:
