සැකිල්ල:Cite Box Office Mojo/doc

A template for citing box office data on Box Office Mojo.

Usage

Copy a blank version to use. All parameter names must be in lowercase. Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Delete unused parameters to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples may include the current date. If the date is not current, then purge the page.

Basic parameters only, in horizontal format

{{Cite Box Office Mojo |id= |title=}}

Full parameter set in horizontal format

{{Cite Box Office Mojo |id= |title= |access-date= |archive-url= |archive-date= |url-status= |mode= |publisher_hide= }}

 Note: The |id= parameter is the same as the film's IMDb id.

• The field id can be left blank and will pull from Wikidata property IMDb ID (P345) if available, but will have an error message if no entered in template or available at Wikidata
• The field title can be left blank and will pull from the page name with parentheses

Wikidata

The Wikidata project provides a central collection of information and parameters for articles for the various Wikimedia Foundation projects. This includes the IMDB title codes for films. For example, the film Space Milkshake has a corresponding Wikidata item (Q7572422), which in turn includes an IMDb identifier. If {{IMDb title}} is invoked in an article without the "id" parameter, and if Wikidata has an IMDb identifier specified for that article's corresponding item, the IMDb link with its title code will be included automatically.

For new film articles, the IMDb identifier property (and the film title item itself) may need to be added at Wikidata first, so that the default IMDb link can be available for use on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

This Wikidata capability was implemented on the English Wikipedia as of April 2013.

Note that the title code (first parameter) can still be specified as before and this will override the Wikidata default e.g. where this template is used to link to a film whose title does not correspond to the subject of the article (for example, in the case of a single article about a film and its sequels).

The title parameter override is available to handle differences between article titles and film titles (e.g. due to disambiguation wording in the title). The id parameter may be left blank to default from Wikidata - for example {{IMDb title||Film title}}.
