== Fun little external link icon ==

If you have a browser that shows the [[WP:EL|external link]] icon ([[Image:External.png]]) then you can set any IMDb links to show its own icon ([[Image:IMDb external.png]])

Check out [[m:Help:User style]] for more info on CSS selectors.

#bodyContent a[href *="imdb.com/"],
#bodyContent a[href *="imdb.co.uk/"] {
	background: url(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/53/IMDb_external.png) center right no-repeat;
	padding-right: 13px;
}
</nowiki></pre>

Fix link to redirect at "IMDb name at IMDb" - IMDb links to [[IMDb (identifier)]] instead of [[IMDb]]. [[User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter]] ([[User talk:Eurohunter|talk]]) 16:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC) [[User:Eurohunter|Eurohunter]] ([[User talk:Eurohunter|talk]]) 16:24, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
:Not done.  The purpose of <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline="1">[[IMDb (identifier)]]</syntaxhighlight> in this template is to prevent this template, used in ~152,000 articles from contaminating [[Special:WhatLinksHere/IMDb]].  Similar redirects exist for {{para|isbn}}, {{para|pmc}}, {{para|doi}}, etc parameters in cs1|2 templates (and the matching {{tlx|ISBN}}, {{tlx|PMC}}, {{tlx|DOI}}, etc templates).

A period should be added at the end of the sentence "... at ImDb'''.'''", since its a full sentence. On the possible argument of that the template may be used, inside of a sentence, the template is mainly, if not always used at the external links section of artists, as a seperate sentence, so it will be way more conviejient for other editors to not have add the period. This is also proven by that in most of the articles, the period isn't added manually by the editors, which results to an incomplete sentence. In the case where a use case, of the template being used inside of a sentence/text, an aditionak paramter (varaible) may be added to the template, in order to remove the period, which the period existing would be the default behaviour. Finally, since this unique case seems not existent, the change that would require for this not seemigly existant use case, using a "disable trailing period" parameter, even if it's not made for those possible affected pages, wouldn't have to be immiedeate due to the rarity of the issue, and alsk and addition period isn't greatly breaking until its fixed, for these rare cases.  

P.S.: I belive this could be implemented by using a "switch{}" parser function, in the template. [[User:Mant08|Mant08]] ([[User talk:Mant08|talk]]) 17:42, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
:How is "A. N. Other at IMDb" a full sentence? Where's the verb? -- [[User:Michael Bednarek|Michael Bednarek]] ([[User talk:Michael Bednarek|talk]]) 01:21, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
:{{not done}}:<!-- Template:ETp --> "Awards for Marlon Brando at IMDb" is not a full sentence. If you have an example of output from this template that is a full sentence, please link to it or provide the example code here. I also recommend that you turn on spell-checking in your browser; it will help your posts to be more understandable.  – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 17:38, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
