Ibdb show

I think this template should be changed to refer to "show" id numbers instead of "production" id numbers. Shows often have articles dedicated to them, but individual productions don't. Example: there's an article for "Into The Woods", but "Into the Woods (2002 Revival)" doesn't get a separate article. The IBDB link should therefore point to the show, and not one specific production. Bgruber

• I agree that the show number would make more sense. I have created an Ibdb show template.--Larrybob 20:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• Also while I was at it, there was already a venue template but it's wasn't part of the category.--Larrybob 21:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• • Indeed. See Talk:Guys_and_Dolls#IBDb_link_and_template, which I just posted. Thnidu (talk) 03:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposal Description parameter like the IMDB templates or inject description "production"

I think this template needs a description parameter like the IMDB templates Template:Trim/ Template:Trim at IMDbTemplate:EditAtWikidataTemplate:WikidataCheck For example The Crucible

OR

This TITLE template should inject the word "Production", and the SHOW template should inject something like "List of Broadway productions"

Because currently a single production (IBDB title template) and a list of productions (IBDB show template) display exactly the same.--Jeffkw (talk) 16:58, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

I added a Template:Para parameter similar to Template:Tl and others. See the template's documentation for examples. I also updated about 80 articles to use the new parameter. -- Zyxw (talk) 18:59, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
