 | At March 2011, it is known that the template is not working due to TCM's database's URLs changing. See a discussion about fixing the template here. |
| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Tcmdb name. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The tcmdb name template is based on the imdb name template. It requires an ID and a name, and includes a link to the main article on Turner Classic Movies. TCM maintains its own comprehensive database of motion pictures, actors, actresses, and film crew.
To use it:
- 1. Visit the TCM Movie Database.
- 2. In the keyword search field, type in the name of the person you want to link to, and click "Search."
- 3. TCM will show a disambiguation page showing all the names that match your search words. Click on the person's name you want.
- 4. Copy the ID number that appears after the phrase "participantId=" in the URL listing.
- 5. In the article you are editing, type {{tcmdb name|id=(the ID you copied)|name=(the name)}}.
