Template:Media IMDb refimprove/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Media IMDb refimprove.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template is intended to be put at the top of media articles that 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 {{more citations needed}} instead.

Parameters

This template takes two named parameters:

|date=, to add the date manually
|only=, if IMDb is the only source, then add |only=yes – the default is "no".
